meet again

N/A · 05-09-2014, 07:33 PM

Natalya had closed the distance between the two of them, moving so that there would be less of a time to react. But spars, as well as other types of fights, were fought in close proximity... This was nothing that the male was not familiar with. He would focus, knees bent and ready, head lowered and tail tucked. Chin would tip forward, protecting the lower neck while he scrunched up the top part of his neck, keeping his shoulders rolled forward. Any move he would make would be a counter attack.

Basic defense, certainly necessary, were also there. Ears were lowered flat to his skull, cerulean orbs narrowed into slits to protect them from damage. Claws dug into the earth, stance widened with planted feet as he distributed his weight. Then, as a last measure, fur would raise, particularly on his hackles, to give one last defenses while he prepared for the Olympian woman?s attack. The silence between them, just before the battle began, was perhaps one of the most eerie things Arwel had grown used to dealing with as a wolf. The calm before the storm... Before bodies would meet in heat of battle.

Natalya would launch forward, and Arwel would watch her, trying to read her moves. Her movements would shift slightly to the right, and as she neared both wolves would launch attacks. Arwel would push forward off the ground, his back legs digging their claws into the earth, aiming to slide along her right side. His own leap, was more to propel him forward, however, and keep him close to the ground so that he could recover his stance quickly and attack. Head would turn to the right, jaws parting. While Natalaya aimed higher he aimed lower, seeking to score his teeth across her side. He would feel, however, her own teeth grab onto his scruff, tearing the skin some from the momentum of her lunge. The scent of blood, as well as the sharp tinge of pain from the small wounds caused by teeth would hit him.

If his fangs found any flesh on her side they would have simply sought to tear and slice, not a hold. As Arwel?s back paws hit the ground he?d give a slight push again, making a slight hop with his back end towards the left, to give just a bit more distance between his back end and the woman?s front. Natalya?s hold was released now, the woman focusing on regaining her stance as she hit the ground once again. For now his aim was simpy to strike again, hopefully, before Natalya fully recovering. Right front paw would flash forward, aiming to strike up Natalya?s right back paw as jaws sought to score further damage in a bite on her right flank. If he misjudged the bite, however, he hoped to at least slash into her skin once more with teeth to do just a bit more damage. All the while he would keep his defenses set, particularly mindful of his ears and eyes.

"Normal.
Speech.
Thought.
You."

Rounds:: 0 || 1 || 2
Attack::

-While Natalya aims to tear at his scruff in her leap Arwel is moving alongside her side at a more parallel angle, aiming to tear her flesh with his fangs as he passes.

-As Natalya is recovering her stance Arwel is attempting to step upon her back paw, either to cause bruising or maybe break a toe or two, and bite her flank. If he misjudges due to her hackles being raised in the last post {which it is more likely he wouldn?t gain a hold due to this defense} he will simply aim to cut her flank with his teeth, as he aimed to do to her side.

Defenses:: Knees bent, head lowered and aligned with spine, tail tucked, chin lowered, neck scrunched, shoulders rolled forward, ears flattened, eyes narrowed, stance widened, feet planted {even weight distribution} with claws gripping the earth, hackles / fur raised

Injuries::
-Punctures / slight tearing to his scruff about the left shoulder.
