Not throwing away my shot [Pack claim!]

The fight kicked off in an instant, and as the two women dodged each other, it forced her attack to land away from its intended placement on her target. She still managed to dig the ridges of bone atop her head near the front of Sparrow's right shoulder, painting her head with small splatters of blood. She began to turn away to reposition herself for another attack, but her opponent didn't waste any time in retaliating. Before Manea could put any distance between them, she felt Sparrow's teeth catch the skin at the top of her scruff, her quick turn making the bite land more solidly in the bunched up skin of her scruff rather than the thinner skin and fur closer to her skull.

Manea kept her shoulders rolled forward and scruff bunched around her neck so even though Sparrow got a decent hold on the loose skin there it didn't cause any serious damage besides some moderate lacerations. It was still enough to give her a sting of pain that made the corners of her snarling lips pull up in a grin. Now that blood had been spilled on both sides it could be called a real fight. She kept all of her usual defenses in place with her paws set firmly and evenly beneath her, her toes spread and claws gripping the ground, ears pinned back, eyes narrowed, muzzle scrunched up with a vicious snarl, her limbs slightly bent and ready to move. She kept her tail tucked in since she was in such close quarters and didn't want to give her opponent any easy targets. She also kept her chin tucked down and kept her head even with her spine.

Being so close to the woman, she could feel when Sparrow began to shift her weight, and with her head tipped down from where she had rammed her head into Sparrow's shoulder, Manea saw the woman start to lift her paw. She made the quick decision to not move her paw, but she did draw in the large tiger-like claws just to prevent as much damage as possible before Sparrow's right paw slammed down onto her own. A sharp pain shot up her leg as Sparrow stomped on the edges of her middle toes, bruising the delicate digits. The feline claws were a bit of a surprise as they cut into the skin around her toes and left some scratches in their wake, but it wasn't anything she wasn't used to dealing with considering how common that mutation was within her family.

Her opponent's move landed Sparrow's front leg well within reach of her jaws. Taking advantage of this opening, she swiftly turned her head to the right and lunged for Sparrow's right ankle. She would rip her scruff away from Sparrow's jaws if she had to while she sought to to sink her teeth into the thinnest part of Sparrow's right limb and bite down as hard as her jaws could in the hopes of fracturing the more fragile bones there. A growl was pulled from her chest when she felt something sharp bite at her back left leg, but she was spared from losing her focus when a moment later one of her ravens came down from where it had been circling overhead, aiming to peck and claw at the monkey to chase it off. Manea didn't spare the creature a glance and ignored the minor lacerations Sparrow's companion left on her leg. Manea pulled her front right paw away from Sparrow's and attempted to bring it up to jab her paw into Sparrow's chest with her large claws extended, not looking to shove as much as she was looking to slice her claws into flesh with a downward swipe of her paw before going to place it back onto the ground again to re-establish her fighting stance with her paws gripping the ground, preparing for whatever Sparrow might throw at her next.
