expectations

Usagi observed his own paw thud against the brute’s shoulder, as if he’d kicked a stone wall instead of his leader. Usagi didn’t show any surprise, because he wasn’t very taken aback - a Shogun of his size most definitely felt as massive and stonelike as he looked. Built like a soldier, more suited for forceful measures than pure agility and gymnastics as Usagi was forced to rely on. His abilities stemmed from his childhood, having been taught a variety of combat moves by travelling warriors that avoided using their teeth at all, unless they were in mortal danger. It was their philosophy which they unknowingly passed down to the boy, whose form they said was well-suited for their methods. How they would fare against the higher-skilled dire he was facing off against, he was unsure.

It wasn’t long before he felt Hattori’s shoulder forcefully wham into the meat of his back right thigh - and accordingly, though he conceal the extent of the impact in a tensed jaw, he used the momentum to his asvantage. Having fought heavier-built opponents before, he used the impact to propel him back, his lower body flipping upwards as he used his forelegs to brace his impact back onto the ground - as if turning the impact of the shoulder thrust into a backflip of sorts. Finding his footing, he braced his limbs yet again and this time aimed to charge towards the leader again, but this time instead of pivoting to the dire’s side, he sharply turned around so his back faced the koi’s chest and his head directly under Hattori’s chin, aiming to push his cranium up to check him there. He didn’t use nearly enough force to make it painful - he didn’t feel like getting repimanded for knocking out a tooth. Still, judging by the lack of response to his kick, it was clear the male had heft and wasn’t easily shaken by a bunny-like wolf as himself. However, he hoped it would somewhat attempt to convey his ability to avoid using his teeth unless he absolutely needed too. His limbs were his strongest asset, and the ability to shift his weight and energy into a point of concentration or impact even more so.
