Cormalin

Again, Cormalin?s strategy worked out well. Rune did try to keep his balance, even managed a step, at first, and then Cormalin felt the give to the side as the younger wolf lost the battle with gravity. As the wolf fell beneath him, Cormalin set his hind paws under himself to avoid being pulled down, though his chest and front end were pulled down with him, leaving his hind end high in the air, in perfect position to wrench himself free of the grappling position. He quickly released the hold on Rune?s scruff and lunged instead for a hold on the forward end of the younger wolf?s neck, aiming for either the side of his neck, or his throat. If a grasp was attained, he?d apply pressure, though not enough to break the skin. Eyes were squinted, ears pulled back, neck scrunching to raise the loose skin and protect his neck from an attack.

He felt the snapping teeth score his shoulder again, the young wolf?s original bite having been released in the fall. His thick shoulder fur saved him from damage beyond a scratch or two, leaving the male with a mouthful of fur. He pressed his weight down on the opponent?s ribs with his chest, hoping to keep the male pinned, and constrict his breathing. He grunted as a hind paw caught him in the side, Rune?s nails neatly scoring small scratches in its wake. He had to hand it to the male, he did have a good strong kick. That would leave a bruise, and Erani would scold him. He almost rolled his eyes.





Fight Stats



Round: 4/4

Defenses: Setting in his hind legs, locking them to avoid being fully taken down. Eyes squinted, ears flat, scrunching his neck to push the loose skin up, protecting the inner neck (Vertebrae, Tendons, arteries and the like.)


Attacks: Releasing his scruffhold to attempt to grasp Rune's neck, either the side, or the throat. If he nabs either spot successfully, he'll apply pressure. Pressing weight down on Rune's ribs with his chest, intending to constrict his breathing. (The way I see it in my head, they're in the position of a pair of almost closed scissor blades, and the area where the blades become the scissor handles is where their heads are.)


Injuries: (once again, I'm mixed up...) Injuries from previous moves, plus more scratches on the shoulder from Rune's bite, and a heavy bruise to the side from Rune's kick.


Out Of Character Notes: I'm not sure if any of this reached power play... lemme know what you think? Edit!: To fix fight stat code. I need to fix it in table management. >.<
