Hati Hr??vitnisson

Don't hold back came Akemi's warning, and Hati growled uneasily. She hadn't seen his early training, hadn't seen how he'd be punished for holding back - it would be insanely easy to just let go and go full out against her. And therein was the problem.

Any more mental anguish would have to wait though, since Akemi was readying herself. With a grunt he double-checked that he was ready. Slightly widened stance with toes spread and gripping the ground, weight centered, knees bent slightly, tail and head both held neutrally to the spine. His shoulders rolled forward as his head pulled back, chin tilted slightly toward his chest. His hackles were raised, spiking his coat even more than usual, his thick ears nearly disappearing as the pressed back against his skull. Eyes narrowed and brow furrowed now in a snarl.

And then it was on.

Akemi bounded forward, once, then again toward his left side. In reaction Hati shifted his weight forward and pivoted on his forehand, effectively bringing himself around ninety degrees to face where his left shoulder had previously been. This brought him out of range of her snapping jaws, but slightly too late as her stomp aimed at his foot managed to catch his paw, her entire weight dropping on the last two toes as he pivoted. The laws of physics vied with one another for a microsecond but in the end momentum won and his toes were allowed to continue with the rest of his body... though not without a price as the movement torqued them just right and a painful snap was felt as the last two toes of his left paw broke. Hati grunted as the paw came to rest in it's intended position and the broken toes came into contact with the ground. The paw would hold his weight, but it hurt like a bitch and the pain would distract him at a crucial moment if he was not mindful. He would just need to be careful.

His weight carefully shifted to his hindlegs slightly for more of the power he would need, his jaws flashed forward, aiming for the juncture of her back and tail. He intended on taking a bruising grip and lifting her, more humiliating than dangerous. As he did his left forepaw curved around, reaching for the fronts of her hindlegs in a hooking gesture - useless if he succeeded in lifting her but a hard enough strike in the bend of the knee should forcibly collapse the leg, and that was what he was hoping to accomplish.

He was holding back and he knew it, but he couldn't risk rage drowning out sense and causing her to get hurt.

Out Of Character Notes: Poor Hati.


Hati isn't nice. He swears, he is violent, and is more than a little insane. If you can't handle what might come of that don't thread with him.

Hati wears a bear skull on his head unless otherwise stated in the post. He also has a ram's skull that might be switched in sometimes if he finds it again.
