Success! Each attack landed and Laufey was allowed a brief moment of satisfaction. A very brief moment, because Esti retaliated far too quickly for his liking. The gagging noise she'd made had made him hopeful that the end of their little fight was near, but apparently that wasn't meant to be.
Suddenly Esti dropped on him, her form momentarily blotting out the light. His mouth opened in surprise, his tongue quickly getting coated in his sister's fur. He had half a mind to bite down and see if his jaws caught anything. Instead his back limbs shot out on either side of her body and flailed. For a couple of heartbeats, the boy felt suffocated and it wasn't until he felt Esti's jaws clamp down on his neck that the boy even considered retaliating. Her teeth dug into the skin, slicing through it to the muscle and causing blood to well up out of the wound. Lucky for him, the skin there was loose, the fur thick, and padded with muscle. Nothing vital was hit.
Releasing Esti's ear, Laufey tucked his chin and rolled his shoulder forward in order to protect his neck and loosen the skin up around it, hopefully easing the tension created by Esti. There wasn't much more he could do defense-wise since he was still on his back, but that would hopefully soon be fixed. His hackles, though flattened beneath him, were still puffed in agitation and his eyes remained narrowed, the brow points almost meeting between his eyes. His tail curled up to rest across his stomach, protecting the sensitive area should his sister decide to play dirty. The boy's ears remained pressed flat against his skull. Black lips peeled back to reveal crimson tipped teeth and he growled his displeasure, thoroughly peeved with how his merry little evening was turning out. His toes splayed out, the nails held ridged and talon-like.
Okay, his turn. Coiling his legs under him, Laufey kicked out, hoping to once again catch his sister's stomach. This time there was a slight twist. As he kicked out, the boy arched his back and began to attempt to roll Esti and himself over to his right side. She hadn't moved much so his front legs were still on either side of her neck and the pup was hoping to use that to his advantage. If he could lift her into the air and guide her front half over with the "cage" his front legs made, then he'd be golden. For good measure, the boy jerked his head down and to the right side, jaws searching once again for Esti's ear, although this time he targeted the left one. Seizing and pulling on that ear would hopefully encourage his sister to roll with him.
