A change in scenery

The female was quiet as she listened, though the air around the two bristled with unspent aggression. He watched as her body subtly shifted in preparation to attack, and before he knew it she had leapt at him. It was all instinct, the great slate beast had been doing this for many moons now, since his paws had tumbled out of the birth canal he had been a fighter. Intellect and strength were his mediums- the male was not quick, nor was his endurance good -He did well in short, all-out battles, contests of strength.
He noted her shorter stature, perhaps he could overpower the female with brute strength and gain the upper hand. The beast let out a screech of pain as she made contact. His silver eyes narrowed to a slit and pupils dilated as his cry became a shallow growl. She had hit his shoulder with force and he pulled his upper body back in a half rear and leaned slightly to the left to protect the precious crease, preventing full dislocation but sacrificing his stability. The slate male refocused himself and pulled his torso back downwards- throwing the entirety of his weight into the movement -tucking his head into his neck and turning his skull to instead aim to make contact with the top side of her muzzle as she reached to bite, hoping to throw her head down and away from him so he may resettle himself.
Upon his feet once again touching the ground, he stared at his opponents focused eyes, lowering his body into a stocky position to distribute his weight evenly. He was heavier then her, but she was faster. His best shot was to simply wait and counter her with whatever he could, as any attacks he launched would likely be dodged without much effort. His pawpads splayed and claws dug into the ground, bracing himself for the worst, and ready to spring away at a second's notice.
