prevailing strength

Hattori knew when he was beaten. Though undeniably talented in battle, he was not a sore loser, nor would he resent his wife from using his weaknesses to her advantage. He felt her claws purchase against his back and he made a soft noise in the back of his throat, noting he yielded. Sinking down to his stomach, he allowed Venom to step off of him before rising back onto his feet. Instead of sating his appetite for her, she'd only made it all the more pressing. Something he cared not to ignore.

"Again?" He asked, his head tilting to the side a little. An open invitation.

Moving in swift, Hattori set the match in motion once more. Sweeping in from the right this time, Hattori aimed to truly test how light and agile Venom was on her paws. A direct hit mid-centre would be far harder to dodge than a grazing blow to the shoulder or haunches and so Hattori aimed for the smooth line of her side. Or at least that was what he made himself out to be doing, battles between them were as much of a test of wit as of brawn. Mind games and ploys swirling around one another as they danced, knowing they could fill in the gaps the other had.

Instead, he made to grab for her muzzle, neck extending as he reached.
