Though fighting was not necessarily his specialty, it was a necessity in this world. It seemed to him that life was hardly worth living if one was able to - or worse, not willing to - defend themselves or those they cared about. He knew he needed the practice, and so he would dive head-first into the fight without hesitation.
Ixionn seemed surprised at his sudden attack. Perhaps he was a bit less skilled than he had anticipated? Either way, he would not falter. As his jaws fell down on the area of his right shoulderblade and neck, he ensured his legs were still spread to keep his weight spread evenly between his limbs. His claws continued to grip the soil as he maintained his spread toes. His tail would remain even with his back, spread behind him, aiding in his balance. He kept his shoulders rolled forward, trying to scrunch his scruff up around his neck so that he could keep his vitals more protected in the case of a counterattack. And while his bite was firm, and he was putting a large amount of weight onto the other man's body, he was not intending to hurt him.. not much, at least.
His successful bite had sent Ixionn closer to the ground. He felt his opponent's jaws strike the upper portion of his left foreleg. The pain surged through him, though he was greeted by a pleasant rush of adrenaline that all but masked the pain from the moderate bite. The pressure was great enough to force him to buckle slightly from the bite, and he released his hold on Ixionn's scruff just slightly. Readjusting his weight to account for the pressure on his front left him, he would attempt to swing his hindquarters to his own right to hope he would angle himself away from the majority of Ixionn's body, knowing the closer he was to him, the more likely it would be that he faced a more serious attack. He attempted to keep his head low to the ground as he would aim to retract his jaws from Ixionn's neck, this time aiming to not grab hold of the crook between the right side of his neck and shoulderblade, but to thrust his head forward and aim to push his backwards with all of his weight.
(Sorry this took so long! Feel free to default me if I went past the time limit, not sure if I did xD Up to you!)
