The brute would feel the ripple of muscles move beneath her as she shifted and changed her stance. He could feel in her strength and the minuscule reactions of this Woman that she had seen plenty of battle before this one. He could feel in her constant shifting that she preferred to take the offensive. He felt her roll her weight backwards, pushing it into her hind legs as through she prepared to surge forward and it dashed his attempts to throw her balance as his own weight surged in his front paws, as he pushed forward she would pull back. Her centre of weight would shift in her favour, had it been in her front paws he would have better been able to uproot her. Her balance however would remain and not topple, even with her raised right paw as he shoved all his moved weight into her and now she still did not lower her paw but instead attempted to hook it around his left. Even as he felt the brush of her paw touch the underside of his leg his he pulled his paw off the ground and lowered it just as quickly so that her swipe fell under it and gripped nothing.
The movement of raising his leg did nothing to impair his balance with his lowered gravity and they where at an equal state at the moment they had both their paws raised. She would rise up a little and lunge for his neck again. She had asked him for his teeth and as she went for his throat he would lunge downwards slightly beneath the body she had just raised to lunge at him. The flow of his movement would bring him forward and her jaws would miss his throat and perhaps land and grip on his shoulders if she still carried it out as he brought his head slightly under her and went for the tender muscles of her right ankle. He would attempt to catch her right ankle in his jaw a mechanism far better build for gripping then a swiping paw and if his grip landed would attempt to yank on said limp, once again going for the idea of unbalancing her, and knowing the tender skin of her ankles would give him more leverage then the muscular, fluffier one her teeth might have found on his shoulder.
Defences: Lowered to the ground, weight spread, paws gripping the earth, tail flared behind him, ears pinned
Attacks: lunging to grip his jaws on her right ankle and if landed would jank the limb forward
Injuries: Bruising to left shoulder, the pull of her grip against his shoulder if she continues the attack.
