Tenshi's quip back brought a playful grin to the Hallows lord's face. It had been far too long since they'd had a chance to truly cut loose and have some fun and just smile. Heiðinn was truly doing them a great favor with this. But that didn't mean he was going to take it easy on them! He maneuvers in close, his body brushing the side of hers as she fails to prevent him from getting close enough to strike—but was it failure or part of her plan? Artorias wouldn't realize until much too late that he had played into her hand, and the moment he had his paws around her, he saw Tenshi turn her head to aim those antlers at him. He ducked his head to keep his face and eyes out of their way, used to sparring with an antlered wolf thanks to his wife, but unable to swing his body out of the way before her antler tip grazes against his thigh.

Artorias yipped in surprise and did a little hobbling side step to try and pivot his hips away from Tenshi's front, a roguish grin on his muzzle. "Careful! My wife's favorite parts are down there!" he remarked. Artorias relinquished his hold around Tenshi in favor of backpedaling away to keep her antlers away from his soft parts, taking a moment to reevaluate his strategy. Though fighting an antlered wolf was nothing new, Tenshi had both greater size and weight than Briar did, so his usual tactics wouldn't work. Time to adapt, improvise, overcome! Still at her side, Artorias continued his way around toward Tenshi's back end, aiming to lunge to grapple around her hips instead and hopefully use the momentum of his attack to take her back legs down with him.
