chin up kiddo

"Hey kiddo..." A familiar deep voice halted his fatigue induced zombie shuffle. Kiddo? His ears perked and his head swiveled to take in his mother's mate. "Have time for one more spar? I won't keep you long..." Valentine's head lolled back as his eyes searched the sky. Man, he was tired, but how could he possibly refuse? "Alright, old man," he teased, eyes seeking out his opponent's verdant gaze. "You're on." Valen had no intention of backing down from the challenge. When Kylar motioned for him to take the first move, the brute complied without hesitation. He accepted the distance and positioning Kylar attempted to place between them, something that placed them head on and at a distance of five meters. Valentine adopted his defenses with fluid ease. He widened his stance and splayed his toes as his knees bent and weight centered - effectively lowering his center of gravity and making it harder to displace him. His head lowered and his tail rose, these two defenses coming together to bring his spine into alignment. Along his back his hackles rose as his shoulders rolled forward and his chin tucked. Valentine's ears fell flat as his eyes narrowed, the skin around his eyes and along his forehead wrinkling. In a flash he was off, seeking to close the distance between himself and his opponent rapidly. He sought to maintain their head on positioning--for now. A split second before his attacks began, the brute dodged to his left in an attempt to line the front of his right shoulder up with the center of Kylar's chest. Valentine jutted it forward, seeking to use the bony front of his right shoulder as a lance. His aim was to drive it into the lower portion of Kylar's throat just above his breastbone with the intention of stunning him and knocking the air from his lungs. The Imperator's left forepaw rose and darted inwards towards his right forepaw. Valentine attempted to slam it down on the toes of Kylar's right paw. He sought to pin his opponent's toes and limit his movements while causing no small amount of pain. During this move his weight redistributed instantly to fix his compromised balance. To complete his first round of attacks, Valentine's head snaked to his right. His crown tipped to his right as his jaws rose to his left (his head rotating in place), teeth parting as he attempted to move in for a bite. The brute sought out his opponent's upper throat just below his lower jaw. The aim was to sink his upper teeth into the left side (Ky's left) of Kylar's throat and his lower teeth into the right side (Ky's right). Valen didn't seek a life ending bite. Instead he simply sought a tight grip that would allow him control over his opponent and the ability to choke Kylar into submission. Round ONE of UNDETERMINED (OOC: How many rounds do you want? I'm good with 2-3) |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
