Even in battle, the smaller boy was taking a liking to August. It was clear that he wasn't brutal in his tactics, for if he had been Dayton could have very well been thrown to the ground. He completed his leap and felt their shoulders scrape together, only to realize that his swinging skull had missed its mark. August had avoided it nicely, moving his own head up and away only to bring it crashing down on Dayton's. The russet male whined briefly, seeing small patches of light, before retreating a few feet. He was careful not to cross his limbs over themselves. Even in the heat of a spar he wanted to remember the things Qanik had taught them. Dayton then heard the close sound of snapping jaws and realized that his opponent had gone in for a bite. Luckily it had missed. Now for his next move. With action all around them, Dayton quickly tightened the muscles in his back and abdomen and squared his balance once more. He rolled his shoulders and gathered his brows once more, not wanting to be the victim of that vicious bite. He tucked his chin and bared his fangs before digging his extended claws into the snowy ground and rocketing forward once more. He had some very slight bruising on his left shoulder, but nothing that would bring down his speed. And this was fortunate, of course, because the smaller boy could use his speed to his advantage. For his next attack, he planned to dart forward, approaching August on his right once more. Then he quickly turned about and jumped to his other side, hopefully throwing him off. If his movement tracking was set off, he would have time to stand on his hind legs and press all of his weight onto the weak part of August's back. If successful, his opponent would collapse, allowing Dayton to pin the other male with his parted jaws against his throat. If not successful, he would cause bruising to his ribs either way. This fight would soon be over. It was only a quick spar, after all. The russet male had done what he could. Round 2/2 Defenses: Legs spread, tightened muscles in back and abdomen, tucked chin, bared fangs, extended claws, gathered scruff and brow, rolled shoulders. Attacks: Faking August out on his right side before running to his left side and rearing up. Front legs will come down, pressing all of Dayton's weight into the vulnerable part of August's lower back. If this causes opponent to collapse, Dayton will trap the other male's throat with his teeth. Injuries: Slight bruising to left shoulder, minor bruising to top of skull that may cause aching and dizziness. |
