Can't Hold Us

Mercy offered her the first move. The blood in Astrid's veins became liquid nitrogen, freezing and boiling at once. Oh it was on. Given the first move, Astrid would pause to ensure her defenses were in order. Her chin would dip, protecting her neck, as her ears flattened against the top of her skull. Her eyes narrowed. The girl bent her legs, centering her body mass and center of gravity. She lifted her tail to align her spine, setting herself in a stance that would take an impact, should Mercy decide to go against her word. Her claws dug into the earth and she rolled her shoulders forward, offering the loose skin on her neck instead of the crucial muscle and vessels beneath. Her hackles lifted, every hair standing on end. She curled her lips up to reveal her teeth and allowed her jaw to slack open, all the easier to thrash about and snag errant bits of flesh. The distance between them was perhaps two body lengths, no more than ten feet. The two faes were positioned head on, each squaring off against the other. Astrid drew in a deep breath and began her first attack. She would dart forward and close the distance between them. When the space dwindled to sixteen inches Astrid would feint with one step to the left. Pushing her weight off of that left forepaw, she lunged instead to her own right (Mercy's left.) With bared fangs, she would attempt to bite the taller woman just above where the shoulder blade transitioned into the soft flesh of her neck (The sternomastoideus area, depicted here: Link) Astrid would attempt to pivot around this first attack, rotating on her right forepaw so that her hindquarters would swing to her right and position the two women side-by-side, with Astrid standing on Mercy's left side. Astrid lifted her right forepaw and slammed it down to the earth, hoping to crush the toes on Mercy's left forepaw, although she did not dare to aim and risk losing her focus on Mercy's own dangerous maw. Astrid kicked out backwards with her hind right leg, hoping to collide with Mercy's knee or at the very least to sweep the limb out from under her opponent. Hopefully the woman's balance would be compromised. Finally, Astrid would check Mercy's hips with her own, bony pelvis hopefully colliding with Mercy's hindquarters. Round 1 of 2(?) DEFENSES: Chin tucked, ears flattened, eyes narrowed, legs bent, gravity centered, tail aligned, claws dug into the earth, shoulders rolled, hackles raised, teeth bared. ATTACKS: Bite to the neck, toe crush, kick/leg swipe, hip check. INJURIES: None. NOTES: None. "Talk" "You" Think |
