Hit it with your fat wallet

Voltage reared up to meet him as Valentine fell forward and the two collided in a teeth rattling, non-celebratory (or was it? Both parties appeared to be rather gleeful) chest bump. As expected, the blow stung and the upward motion of his opponent worsened things. Later a patchwork of bruising was sure to form across the entirety of his chest, but overall it could best be described as moderate. A split second after impact he became aware of his opponent's forelegs running up over top of both of his shoulders but below his shoulder blades. He could feel Voltage's claws digging through his fur and leaving what felt like thin welts in the skin directly beneath his shoulder blades, but the damage was very light and no blood was drawn. Valentine's bite missed its target completely, his teeth instead finding purchase at the base of his opponent's skull. His upper teeth sunk into the right side of Voltage's scruff just behind his right ear and his lower teeth sank into the left side of Voltage's scruff just behind his left ear. Jaws snapping shut on a mouthful of thick fur and skin, his teeth sank in deeply and created moderate puncture wounds. A sudden constricting feeling around his throat drew a bubbling hiss from between the King's teeth as his opponent's teeth found their mark. As he'd hoped, Voltage's teeth managed to grip the bunched skin, fur and fat that covered Valentine's throat just below his lower jaw. Thankfully, because he'd tucked his chin, the skin there was looser than it would have been had he kept his lower jaw parallel to the ground. His opponent's teeth sank in, slicing through the skin and creating a moderate wound. Fortunately for Valentine, the blow wasn't deep enough to damage anything major. While his opponent succeeded in restricting the King's ability to breathe, he didn't achieve a deep enough hold to choke Valentine out. The collision didn't keep Valentine from returning his forefeet to the ground. The height difference alone contributed to much of his success in this regard. His opponent was also light enough that his balance hadn't been thrown off too terribly and he was able to continue his descent without too much ado – something he intended to use to his advantage. With his paws back on the ground, Valentine widened his stance so that his paws were place slightly wider than shoulder/hip width apart and he bent his knees and elbows just enough to keep the joints loose. For balance his toes were splayed and for added traction his nails bit into the hard ground of the battlefield. He kept his ears slicked back and flat against the slope of his crown, and his eyes narrowed. The skin along his muzzle and around his eyes bunched up as his lips curled back, hopefully adding a protective circle of loose skin around his eyes. His hackles stood tall, the stiff hairs spanning the length and width of his back, and his tail rose to lay level with his spine. Hoping to keep the skin over his throat loose since his opponent was hanging off of it, the brute kept his chin tucked and he rolled his shoulders forward in the hopes of further bunching the thick mantle of fur and skin around his neck. Seeking to maintain his grip on the back of his opponent's neck at the base of his skull, Valentine intended to bite down harder and thrash his head from side to side in the hopes of worsening the damage done. As he did so he shoved forward in the hopes of ramming the whole of his chest into Voltage's chest. It was a very general strike, the size difference enough to almost guarantee that the entirety of his chest would cover the width of Voltage's chest. With his opponent's forelegs around his shoulders Valentine hoped to strike the whole lower half of Voltage's chest and hopefully force him over backwards and knock the wind from him.

NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
