With Tooth & Claw
06-01-2015, 02:29 AM
Something about this male seemed familiar, but she just couldn't quite put her paw on it. He seemed polite enough despite his hard gaze when he turned to look at her and the harsh rumble of his laugh. She wasn't sure what about him struck a chord in her memories. Perhaps if he introduced himself it would become clear. She had met more wolves than she could remember so it was very possible they had crossed paths in some way and it was just slipping past her at the moment. At his comment on being up for a decent fight she chuckled softly and gave a slight nod. "I've never been one to go half way in anything, certainly not in fights. As for the 'whoever I am' part, I am Athena. I won't disappoint you, I'm sure." She smirked a little, enjoying this small rush of adrenaline as she began to settle into her defenses. Fighting was like riding a bike. You may get a little rusty over time if it's not practiced, but anyone as practiced at the art as her never forgets how. She quickly settled into her defenses, starting with moving her stance into a stable, evenly spaced one. Her toes spread and nails dug into the soil of the Battlefield to give her some more traction. Her head and neck fell even with her spine and her tail flared out behind her so her whole back from nose to tail was level. Her ears folded back neatly against her skull and her eyes narrowed so they would be harder to target. Her lips pulled back into a snarl to expose her teeth while her scruff bunched up around her shoulders and her hackles raised. Finally her chin tucked down to block him from her throat and her knees bent to give her a bit more freedom of movement before she finally set about her first attack. She launched herself forward toward him in an attempt to cross the distance she had left between them when she first approached him. In her advance she would head toward the left, but at the last moment she ducked to her right, using her claws that were still biting into the dirt to help in this movement. She did this in hopes that the sudden change in direction would throw him off a bit and make it easier for her to land her blows. She aimed to throw her left shoulder into his chest, hoping to cause some bruising there and knowing full well it could cause some bruising on her end as well. Athena also parted her jaws and turned her head toward the back of his neck so she could attempt to grab ahold of the skin there. Preferably she would like to grab his scruff, but she wouldn't hesitate to latch on where ever she could reach. He didn't seem like the type that would want her to go easy on him in any way so she wouldn't. After all, she made a promise to not disappoint him. Round 1/3 |
