Voltage would grin his signature toothy grin to the man but didn't spare another word. He had accepted his challenge, so Voltage would have to prepare, wouldn't he? His body remained tense, his hind limbs bound and flexed. He would settle the majority of his weight on his back legs, bending deep in the knee as he waited for his opponents approach. The moment the white male would move Voltage growled, lips curling and eyes narrowing. He lowered his head and leapt forward, off the tightly coiled springs he had prepared. Paws would eat the distance between them, his ample energy pushing him forward as quick as he could. After only a few single bounds he would put on his breaks, all four paws skidding against the ground. His toes would bite the ground as he skidded, twisting his upper half of his body away from his opponent and towards Voltage's left. Due to this he had positioned himself to take Lyndvarr's blow to his shoulder, along his Scapula bone (Reference). The impact was great and he felt himself push back slightly at the momentum. The pain was instant, blossoming like the flowers that dotted the shore of his home. He would bruise, he knew, but he hoped his opponent would feel as much as he did. His weight would settle mostly on his hind limbs, a resting stance when he is in battle. Forelimbs would settle with a should width between them, toes biting at the ground and shoulders would remain pinched to protect the back of his neck with excess fur and fat. Due to his movement, the paw slam would miss most his toes, landing on the left most of his left paw. He would grit his teeth then before swinging his head around, just as Lyndvarr would aim his own attack. Voltage would aim for the back of Lyndvarr's neck, along the upper trapezius (Ref) He'd aim for a good grip, to sink his teeth into the muscle and get a strong, solid hold. This movement would allow his throat to remain out of Lyndvarr's reach, and thus protected. Lyndvarr's hit would miss due to Voltage's new positioning, and instead his teeth would sink in, slicing along his ribcage. While the skin was tender, and the pain in that moment was almost overwhelming (enough that Voltage had to clench his jaw whether he achieved his grip or not), it wasn't necessarily strong. Teeth would sink into the muscle, but he didn't retain weight very well (with his constant motion) so he didn't have much, well, meat on his bones, so the grip wasn't as strong as if it landed else where. The pain was severe, and the blood seeped instantly, soaking through his deep black fur. Such a tender area! Through it all, his tail would remain pinned, his ears forever back.
