trauma can be illuminating

Of course, the woman wasn’t going to lay down and take a beating. Which meant she wasn’t a good girl. Still, Rhazien would continue to engage in the dance of battle, high on the adrenaline that coursed through his veins. As he closed in, intent on toppling her over- the woman ducked down, which made him miss his target. Reflexively pulling his head back, the bony skull of her armor hit part of his upper shoulder, missing his chin with only a few inches to spare.

While her clawed foot reached for his limb, Rhazien still attempted to use his momentum to his advantage. Given their proximity, he pushed off his hind limbs and continued to try and barrel over her, wanting to use his weight against her. If she was going to trip him, then he should at least fall onto her. His jaws opened again, this time trying to snake between the skeletal gear to grab at her scruff, given she had previously ducked down from him.
