The younger boy was succeeding in one thing, pushing the older brute off the offensive and into the defensive as he met the attacks with ones of his own, pushing against the other boy, forcing him to abandon some moves to protect himself from Alpine's own actions. So the attack to the neck hadn't fully succeeded as an attack, but it had succeeded as a defence. The other boy had stilled his attempt to grab Alpine's neck and as he moved back Alpine's thrust landed upon a thicker part of the neck lined with fluff, and didn't do as much damage as he would have liked, certainly it didn't wind him. The lunge of fangs would also be partly deflected, and his jaws would snap against the thick of shoulder and puncture somewhat into the skin.
It was here that Cormalin fought back once more. Driving the shoulder into Alpine's throat, the boy rode with it. Lightning his paws grip upon the earth to allow himself to be pushed back by the thrust, thus lowering the impact unto his jaws. He would try to dig in again as the other brute lunged for Alpine's own scruff. He would push himself further into the other boys shoulder, sacrificing his hold on the shoulder to go for the neck again of Cormalin as the older boy also lunged for Alpine's neck. He would try to evade this by burying his head into the neck of his sparring partner, bulking his
Somehow, despite everything the other boy still seemed to have found a way to place his left shoulder against Alpine's coat. The single paw against his back would do little to sway his weight and hold against the earth, which had settled again immediately after he had moved with the shove. The leg upon his back would move upwards, to hook against Alpine's neck and Alpine would shove all his connected weight which hung on the boy's right side of his neck downwards upon the side where his left leg was raised over Alpine, in an attempt to push all his weight on the unbalanced side and knock Cormalin over. Using the boys own pull against him with Alpine's more stable, balanced weight that came with all fours upon the ground. His balance would remain relatively the same throughout the fight, with his ears to his skull, his tail out behind him, his paws dug into the ground, shoulders rolled to protect the side of his throat the other lunged for.
Defences:Well balances weight with spacing of paws, paws dug into earth for traction with tail flared behind him also for balance. Shoulders rolled to protect throat and tighten his muscles for extra layer, ears flattened to skull.
Attack Defences: Allowing the shoulder shove in his mouth to push him backwards to absorb it before balancing himself again. Burying his head into the neck of his sparring partner, bulking his shoulder up around the side of the neck that had been lunged for in defence.
Attack: Lunging for the throat once more, also driving all his weight which is set on the right side of the boys neck, into the left side to push against the side where his leg is not against the ground and knock him off balance.
