Waltzing Tornadoes

The already-taller girl reared up as Cascade moved to attack, resulting in Cascade's teeth fastening in Esti's ankle instead of her upper forearm. Her swiping paw missed it's intended target completely as Esti's paw was no longer anywhere near where she'd been aiming, and Cascade slammed it back down, adjusting her stance once more. With her right shoulder still forward her weight was distributed more to her other three paws, the better-grounded paws spread in a wider stance because although she could use the right paw for balance she was twisted slightly and the wider stance would compensate for that. The toes of all four paws were spread wide, the blunt nails digging into the dirt for traction and her joints loose and slightly bent for freedom of movement. Her shoulders were rolled forward the best they could be with their uneven stance, her head pulling back toward them to scrunch up the scruff. Her tail remained level with her spine, her head returning to the same level as she released her hold on the girl's ankle, not wanting to injure her too badly. Her chin tucked in to protect her throat, her ears pinning back tightly and her eyes narrowed to protect them, a wide grin baring her teeth in delight rather than a snarl.

The girl's weight slammed forward onto her, the front blade of Cascade's right shoulder taking the brunt of it from it's forward position. Their close proximity meant there was very little damage, only very mild bruising along the front of Cascade's shoulder where there was little muscle and fat to cushion the sharp bone there. With her left leg safely returned to the ground and her stance widened the body slam failed to throw her, though her legs nearly buckled under the sudden assault. Esti's left forelimb wrapped over Cascade's neck just above her shoulders. The drop of Cascade's head for balance as the weight struck her caused the subsequent sharp press of teeth to pierce the skin high on her scruff, right behind her right ear rather than encircling the ear. With her scruff bunched up and the fur on her neck raised the wound was rather minor, but the attempt to push her over using that grip was more of a problem that would need addressing.

With her upper body twisted slightly to put her right shoulder forward anyway, Cascade took advantage of her own position to press her weight onto her forelegs and attempt to pivot on them to swing her hindquarters to her right in an attempt to bring herself perpendicular to Esti and ease the sideways pressure.

The intended position would put her partially under Esti's body, so at the same time she pivoted, the Saxe would seek once more to bury her teeth in the inside of Esti's upper right foreleg just below the elbow with the intention of jerking the leg back toward Cascade's chest as Cascade would either way try to continue the motion to throw her head down while seeking to bend her forelegs and throw her shoulders up in a rapid shrugging motion, the three (pivot, bite, and shrug) combined into one simultaneous motion with the hope of rolling Esti off her shoulders and into the dirt. The Saxe braced herself for the possible pain from Esti's hold on her scruff as she moved, for any attempt by the girl to maintain the grip would definitely be painful for Cascade.

All the while, her tail - while remaining level with her spine for balance - wagged happily, and her expression remained almost annoyingly cheerful.
