He ducked his nose just in time to avoid her strike, she had raised her paw to smack him halfway through her charge. Her sudden flurry was a good start, he sidestepped and let her pass him, taking the opportunity to rake his teeth over the nape of her neck. To warn her that he could have sunk his teeth into it if he chose to.
"A good start, but a frontal assault would work better if you started closer. It gave me too much time to see you coming and react."
He leaped toward her, ducked to one side then shifted his weight to the other at the last moment. He swung his body around to slam into her side, unsteady her, and hook a leg out from under her in the same motion. Intending to get her on the ground and make it easy to dominate.
