I claim this land as my own

- his tail, curled to guard his underbelly, could not stop the fact that she was going to kick the hell at anything she could reach, so his tail fell victim to the wrath of her back legs as she twisted her hindquarters to follow the movement of his body, trying to push the irritating appendage of fluff out of the way and hoping that the pain would cause him to move it of his own will. luck drifted to her in the form of a mistake of his own; as his body weight shifted to the right to avoid the brunt of her attack, his head didn't quite follow the momentum and remained leftwards: right where she wanted it. short-lived triumph blossomed in her mind as she felt her jaws clamp securely down upon his muzzle, and she crunched down with her jaws, front set of her largest four canines reaching just past the bridge of his nose in a fit almost perfect to her own maw. she smirked past the mass of bone, flesh, and enamel held forcefully within her teeth as she tried to injure him enough, but her pride faltered after a second or so as his left paw met her chest with painful momentum, his ivory claws digging past her fur and into her flesh. surprise caused her grip to slacken slightly, but it would be barely just enough for him to free himself if he pulled upwards. if he took that course of action, though, it was highly likely that her teeth would still drag across his jowls and lips on both sides, as she had not loosened her grip enough to completely release him from her hold.



- whether he jerked his maw from her grasp as the force lessened or not, she had no plans to keep it anyway, as she had already hopefully inflicted enough damage to lessen his jaw strength or temporarily disable use of his muzzle completely. no matter the consequences of her previous action, jupiter would roll to her right and out of the grasp of the paw planted in her chest, but as the 180 degree revolution would be completed she would plant her own paws into the ground and push from the earth, aiming to horizontally throw her weight back into him. his tail--one of a wolf's main source of balance--had been tucked in to protect his underbelly, so unless he had moved it during the assault with her hind legs, it would be easy to throw him off of balance, and hopefully there would be an element of surprise to add to her advantage. no one really ever expected an escaping enemy to come back at you, did they?



- as she lunged she would just so happen to glance at the shrubs nearby, a few yards away, and see the silhouette of a small, round black figure tensed and with its fur raised, snarling but still. she would smirk and await the outcome of her attack, pleased with the presence of the creature. its hostility would also remind her to reset her defenses and scrunch her neck once more and extend her tail for balance, aware of the warm blood matting her chest fur.

scrunched neck for added protection; made tail level for balance



? attacks ?

rolls from under him and then reverses her weight, trying to throw herself into him and catch him off-guard and off-balance so she can knock him over



? injuries ?

set of about 1/4 inch-deep gashes on the middle of her back; deep, concentrated set of claw-marks upon her chest, bleeding and matting her chest fur



? round ?

3/4 - no full dodge used


[ o o c ; ] you didn't take any damage from the hind claws, and if you don't it's considered a full dodge (you said you still hadn't used the full dodge, which means some damage would have had to been taken; it's still up to you to what degree), and it wouldn't be applicable since her attack can still land from where she's at (or so I gleaned from your post; it was a bit hard to follow :c). you also didn't mention the result of her second jaw lunge, so it's automatically assumed to hit. ^^;
