You're Gonna go Far, Kid

Ashmedai listened to his mother for her explanations. He was genuinely interested in fighting, but he also hated just sitting and watching a lesson. She showed him an easier way to set his defenses and gave some exaple as to why he was doing some of the things she was instructing him to do. Esti mentioned dropping his tail to protect his family maker. His wha- OH. Ashmedai's tail dropped quickly, a horrified expression crossing his face. She went right on and told him to come at her and he stared at her for a moment, confused. She wanted him to come at her like he was going to attack her? He looked over her, but it was hard choosing a point to attack. The boy took a breath then charged.

He wasn't sure what to do, but he attempted to close the distance between himself and his mother first. If he was in a real fight, he would want to go for the neck, right? Ducking down, Ashmedai tilted his head to his left and attempted to jump back up and bite Esti's neck very gently. He didn't think about it, but he was posed so that his upper jaw would seek to land on the right side of Esti's neck (Esti's right), while his lower jaw sought out the left (Esti's left) side of her neck. He didn't aim for a specific height, just somewhere on his neck. The overall attack was sloppy, but Ashmedai didn't know what else to do.
