Beach Battle

At Rudy's comment about not considering himself in charge of him, Artorias had to raise a brow. His brother was feeling feisty today, it seemed. He knew Rudy's ambitions and his drive, but there was a fine line between ambition and insubordination. Whether they liked it or not, the lines had been drawn, the ranks and roles assigned and assumed, and Artorias was responsible for overseeing the training of all the warriors—Rudyard included. But that didn't matter right now. All he had to focus on was the fight his brother was about to kick off.

"Show me what you've got, Rudy!" Artorias taunted his opponent, then braced himself as Rudy made the first move. Jaws came for his neck and a paw for his face. Unfortunately for his cocksure brother, Artorias had been training in unarmed combat with Sirius—and right here on the beach no less. Moving in the sand had become much less of a hindrance, though it did mean less stable footing for both wolves, and Artorias instead pushed forward into Rudy's attack to use this to his advantage. He timed his movements to push and roll his shoulder forward into his brother's jaws, shielding his throat and taking the brunt of the attack elsewhere. Rudy might bite his shoulder in the process, but it was far better than his vulnerable throat.

He felt Rudy's paw miss his face when he moved, glancing backwards to rake claws over his neck instead. Artorias growled while he kept his momentum up, pushing into Rudy with all his strength, counting on his larger size and more developed muscles to either force his brother back or topple him over onto the sand. If he stumbled back, Artorias would begin to pounce forward at his brother to try and take him off his feet. If he fell to the sand, he would be on him in an instant, jaws aiming for his neck to try and grab his brother's throat in turn.
