Thrilled

Instead of her jaws finding purchase on his muzzle like she’s intended, she found herself crashing into his chest, a small ‘oof’ escaping her lips. They were roughly the same size, so it wasn’t like she was going up against some behemoth, but the impact was still enough that she knew she’d have a bruise later on.

Erathius reared back, his neck twisting to snap at her ears and she ducked, luckily having her auds already pressed to her head in defense. However, she wasn’t prepared for him to stomp on her paw. She grit her teeth, head snapping sideways to try and find purchase on his throat, not enough to draw blood, but enough to hopefully end in victory.
