How do you do, fellow kid?

Ezra grinned with a flash of spiked teeth when his paws connected with Artorias, shoving his new mentor back before his paws came back down to the ground, giving him a brief second to reset his stance while Artorias righted himself and regained his balance. He noticed the pride in Art's glare and that made him grin a bit wider, glad to know that he had done well so far. Of course he didn't linger on that for too long since the Carpathius boy wasn't going to let him linger for too long before launching another attack at him.

He had to fight the instinct to step back when Artorias leapt to his right side, not wanting to put himself any closer to the edge of the ring than he already was so he wouldn't risk crossing it if Artorias shoved him or something of that sort. Then he saw Artorias begin to spin beside him and Ezra quickly changed his stance, dropping down into a crouch as he shifted to face Artorias' side, making an attempt to dodge the swing of that wooden sword, but a combination of his extra height and not being able to move quite fast enough ended up with him taking a hard whack to his shoulder, making him wince and recoil from the impact. But he didn't want to lose out on the opportunity of having Artorias in close quarters so he pushed through the stinging pain and immediately lunged forward as soon as his sword hit him, attempting to slam his chest into the upper part of Art's side, around his rib cage. He felt like most would have tried to grab his scruff too, but with teeth like his and the Hallows laws being what they were, he didn't want to risk hurting Art or drawing blood so he just settled for trying to shove Art out of the ring again.
