Healing through fighting

Rudy confirmed that he needed an outlet to vent, and fighting seemed to be the medicine prescribed today. The fight began with little exchange of words, the mottled Carpathius boy lunging for his larger dark-furred brother. Artorias watched Rudy's movements, noticing the lack of balance his brother had while he still got used to moving with some missing toes. Rudy's feint attack was sloppy and predictable, and Artorias was easily able to pirouette on his heels to veer just out of the way of Rudy's snapping jaws so his opponent got nothing but air. Now right on top of one another in close quarters combat, Artorias could rely on his greater size to try to overpower Rudy.

The black and blue brute aimed to push his body forward into Rudyard's side like a tackle, seeking to bring a paw up amidst his movements and wrap around Rudy's neck while his jaws moved to close the pincer maneuver around the other wolf's neck so he could lock him in a grapple. The plan was simple: grab Rudy, throw him down, then get him in a pin. But first he had to grab him, and Art knew how slippery his brother could be. Part of him wanted Rudy to get away and come at him again. He wanted his brother to fight back tooth and nail so he could invigorate his warrior spirit once more. A fight that ended in one move? That was no fun or good for either of them.
