DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?

The harlot sought to bring herself perpendicular, an almost capital L-shape being her goal (it would be more of an unsymmetrical, capital T that she was aiming for), seeking to preserve defenses. Her previously lifted paw sought to join the ground, hoping that her four limbs would balance equally, weight evenly distributing across all limbs that managed to be grounded, limbs bending, toes spreading, claws biting into the soil, center of gravity lowering with her lowered body, tail lashing out behind her, hackles raised, shoulders rolled, head lowered to align with her body, neck scrunched, chin tucked, jaws parted when they didn?t manage to grip flesh, eyes narrowed and ears pinned back. All defenses were set, muscles tensed just enough to allow for preparation, but not too much as to hinder her flexibility.
Her defenses had all previously been secured, but her balance took no more than an instant to secure, upon three legs or upon four. Jaws released the area she?d managed to bite into, seeking to prepare for a different. Alas, the woman?s hind legs tensed and sought to propel her forwards. Her aim was to drive her left shoulder into the area behind Newt?s right shoulder, near the start of the woman?s ribs. She hoped that the sharp bone of her shoulder, which had lowered and pushed out, would crack ribs. After all, the harlot was pushing with the might of her hind legs, powerful limbs that were built for running and swiftness, muscles that were strong and compact. Jaws sought to twist to her own right, seeking to bite into the woman?s right side, near the first ribs ribs, and attempting so in a crushing motion. She desired to break ribs if possible, but bruises and bitemarks would also be acceptable to the harlot. Alas, her positioning would depend upon Newt?s potential forward motion (OOC: as Dark said she would move forward if not successful, but Newt was only partly successful, I wasn?t certain what Newt would do and felt it would be unfair to assume [:), but Newt had not turned towards the harlot. The serpent wanted to try prey upon the woman?s exposed side, to attempt to tear into her wherever possible.
Meanwhile, Stheno started to move, hoping to circle the fight and observe it from light feet. The wolverine would have faith in her mistress, still showing nothing more than interest in the battle, and nothing more than a quiet worry. None would know if she had any intentions of joining in for an attack or not, including the harlot herself.
