Healing through fighting

Artorias went for the grapple, but Rudy was quicker and darted straight out of his grasp, leaving the larger brute to only end up colliding with his brother's hind end. He tried to snap his jaws around where Rudy's tail should have been—then remembered there was nothing to bite onto. Rudy's maim had allowed him to completely evade Art's attack! Left blinking in surprise, Art tried to reorient himself in time to intercept Rudy's counterattack, but luckily for Rudy, he was still quicker on the jump. Artorias turned just in time to receive the brunt of Rudy's lunging bite, but with the way his body was turning, Rudy's fangs ended up glancing off of his collar bone and landing near his shoulder.

Artorias snarled in response and began to tilt his weight back, hoping to use the momentum of Rudy's attack to turn it into a throw. If he could successfully maneuver his feet just right, he'd be able to wheel Rudy about and get him on the ground in a pin, even with his teeth in his shoulder. As he turned and shifted his weight, Artorias would also try to crane his head to grab Rudy by the scruff just for added good measure to hold his brother to the ground if he managed to reverse the attack.
