With Tooth & Claw
Lips curled into a smile as she set into her defense. He too, would do the same. The boy followed suit: Ears pinned to his head, his eyes narrowed, he'd distribute his weight evenly as his tail flagged out behind him to aid him in any quick maneuvers he might have to make. His hackles rose, toes spreading and his claws digging into the dirt for traction. He aligned his head and tail with his spine, leveling out his body with this action. He rolled his shoulders forward to protect his throat, chin tucked and his scruff bunching to protect the back of his neck. Finally, he would meet her in battle.
As she swerved one way and then another, it caught him slightly off guard but he quickly recovered. After all, there was only ever split second decisions to make when in a fight. She swerved to his left, and in her approach, he growled as she aimed to collide into him with her shoulder. And as she drew closer, he'd lift himself onto his hind legs--spread equidistant apart-- and braced himself. He thrust his chest forward in this motion, her shoulder colliding at the bottom of his chest, and there a bruise would blossom heavily with the collision no doubt. As he did the action of rising, he aimed to wrap his forelegs around her neck, her teeth that were aimed towards the back of his neck would miss their mark, instead, her teeth met with the right side of his breastbone. A light wound would be granted, a couple inches as her teeth sliced through fur and skin. Thanks to the bony part of that area, it wasn't too bad. Enigma would then strike forward, head bowed as he strove to drive his teeth towards her left ear. He kept his head in a position to protect his throat with his own teeth should the need arise, and his shoulders protected the sides of his throat. Should he fail in his intended mark, then he hoped his teeth would slice something at least. Though one never knew what could happen in a fight.
