Qanik's push against the silver queen did little, Cataleya maintaining her precarious position, but forelegs closed around around Qanik's middle as she lunged forward to bite. Qanik's forward movement prevented Cat's legs from striking right behind her forelegs as intended, instead wrapping around the middle part of Qanik's ribcage as the white wolf slid beneath her in order to reach Cat's leg. Her defenses remain solidly in place despite her position. Her stance was squared and slightly widened, her joints slightly bent and loose in order to better take the weight of her adversary. Her weight was as balanced as it could be with Cat's weight on her forehand, Qanik's back rounded to bring her hips slightly down to act as counterbalance. Her toes were spread to increase her balance with greater surface area and her claws dug into the earth for greater traction. Her hackles were raised, her shoulders rolled forward and her ears pinned back and eyes narrowed - she was safe from Cat's teeth for now but not her claws. Qanik did not take the time to savor the moment as her teeth reached flesh. She had no reason to - she did not savor blood and gore and the causing of pain. She did relish the feel of muscle moving beneath her skin, the heightened senses, the adrenaline of the fight, but not the blood. So when her teeth gained a hold she made only a single attempt to jerk her muzzle back toward her chest as she continued to attempt to push forward with her shoulders, not giving much hope to the attempt but still hoping to pull her off-balance, before her teeth let go and she continued her attempted motion in a cross-body movement to try to put her muzzle nearer her left shoulder. She immediately squirmed beneath Cat, trying to raise her right forepaw in an attempt to hook it around Cat's already-bitten left hind leg above the hock in an attempt to pull it towards her, as she also sought to drop her right shoulder to try to press against the leg and shove against it. This twisted her body so that her spine curved toward her right, exacerbated as she tried to fold her right hindleg to drop her right hip as well, and in the same movement extend both left legs in an attempt to throw more of her weight against Cat's leg where she was seeking to wrap around it. Pain arced through her as Cat's bite - aimed for her spine - met instead in the very top of Qanik's side at the very end of her left-side ribcage, the angle and Qanik's own downward movement confining the bite to a couple moderately deep and long gashes over the ribs. The pressure as Cat sat back on her haunches pressed Qanik down further, straining the muscles in the right side of her neck right next to her shoulder as her head was pressed further to the left. In an attempt to... discourage the pressure, she tried to open her jaws against the furry underbelly that pressed against her, attempting to snap them shut in the flesh of Cat's lower abdomen midway between the bones of her pelvis with the intention of slicing open skin and muscle to expose what lay beneath.
