when he takes your throne

Her opponent stepped away from her, leaving her strike to his shoulder not quite as effective as she would have hoped, but it did make its mark none of the less. The edge of her shoulder struck his, causing some pain and minor bruising, but nothing she couldn't ignore. Her next attack to the area just behind his front left foreleg would miss its mark, her teeth grazing nothing more than fur. She would finally get a solid hit on his back left leg, feeling a small sense of victory as her teeth hit their mark, leaving a pair of small wounds behind. As he went to make his counter she would keep her defenses at the ready. Her paws stayed as evenly spaced under her as she could while her toes would stay spread and claws dug in to help her balance and traction as she moved. She wouldn't slack on keeping her eyes narrowed, ears pinned back, tail tucked under her, shoulders rolled forward, and chin tucked down over her throat. Her fur bristled along her spine and her scruff remained bunched up around her neck, which quickly proved to be useful. Before she got a chance to turn back to face him, he would turn, both of them now facing the same way, and she would feel his teeth latch onto her scruff. The skin there was loose enough that his teeth wouldn't do any real damage. His teeth would create several puncture wounds and the shake he would give of his head would cause a bit of tearing as well. She could feel the pain there, radiating from the place where he bit, and blood began to stain her silvery fur, but it wouldn't impede her fighting much. She would snap her head around to look at him as his teeth left her scruff, seeing his paw lift to strike her shoulder. She let her muscles loosen and her tail flare out behind her to help with her balance. She would sidestep away from him as his paw hit, letting the movement take most of the momentum of the hit, his paw only leaving some light bruising at best there. Athena quickly gathered herself, resetting all of her defenses while still staying light on her paws. She turned to face him once again with one fluid step, snarling as her split-tone gaze fixed on him once again. His arching back wouldn't affect her, Athena not being one to be easily intimidated. She would move toward him again, closing the distance between them with a single step before rearing up onto her hind legs. She would aim to throw her forelegs around his neck, wanting to cling to him and curve her neck around his to latch on to his scruff much like he had hers. Her hind legs would space evenly under her and her toes would spread to help with her now two-footed stance, her tail out like a rudder to aid her balance as well. If she was successful she would keep her forelegs tight around his neck and her jaws latched onto his scruff, wanting to keep him in close quarters and impede his movements. She would try to press down on him with her weight from his position as well. She wouldn't bite too terribly hard on his scruff however. The bite was meant to help keep her over him more than it was to injure him. In this position, if she was successful, her left shoulder would be against his throat and the left side of her neck pressed to his, looking almost like a hug. DEFENSES: Eyes narrowed, ears back, shoulders rolled forward, scruff bunched, fur bristled, feet placed evenly, toes spread, claws dug in, tail tucked except for when it is flared out for balance, teeth bared ATTACKS: lunging toward him to wrap her forelegs around his neck like a hug to keep him close, reaching around his neck to grab his scruff, pressing her weight into him INJURIES: bruising on her left shoulder from the hit to his shoulder and from his paw, shallow bite mark on her scruff with slight tearing Speech Thought Others |
