Hesitantly, he observed what the other boy did as he tried to copy the pose shown before him. Why this was necessary for fights, he didn't know, but it seemed right. Almost instinctively, his skull lowered to align with his straightened tail, legs bent slightly, hackles raised and bristled, silver tipped ears pinned to his head, chin tucked and alert eyes narrowed. While he wasn't aware of it, his limbs happened to be firmly placed on the ground at an equal distance apart with his weight evenly distributed. To be on the safe side, his toes splayed out while his claws dug into the soil for grip, just in case his opponent hatched any ideas along the lines of pushing him over. He assumed the other pup knew what he was doing because of the defensive stance he had readied himself into. However, he let out a whisper and an awkward chuckle that confirmed he was just as clueless as Tinaro himself. At least they would both engage in their first fight. Whether it was because of his excitement or nausea, adrenaline pulsated through his form as his muscles tensed.

Rather expectantly, his opponent weakly lunged out and pushed his body weight into Tinaro's chest (I asked Arin about this and she said Starling was aiming for the chest). Because of the softness of the attack, his chest laid untouched by any bruising as well as his balance which remained the same. Next, his opponent's teeth sought to grip the left side of Tinaro's neck (Arin confirmed this as well) so before his bite could land successfully on his flesh, Tinaro lifted his left legs (left foreleg and left hindleg) off from the ground to dodge the attempted bite. He redistributed his weight to shakily balance upon his right legs (right foreleg and right hindleg) and because of this, he leaned slightly to his right, facing Starling's left shoulder. He would only balance himself like that for another moment before attempting to head butt his forehead into the centre of Starling's lower chest, just where it began to curve into his underside (and also in between Starling's forelegs). He would put in his full force in this particular attack in the hopes he would disrupt his opponent's balance. At the same time as this, his raised left legs would return to the ground. After his head butt, Tinaro would turn his skull to his right to face Starling's left foreleg. His jaws attempted to clamp down on the upper part of Starling's left foreleg and bite with mild force while also attempting to weakly pull the leg outward from his opponent in the hopes to sprain a muscle or disrupt his balance again.
