Her bite would miss, her hook would miss. Damn. As her shoulder hit the other, his rear would spin away from her, out of reach. Esti would attempt to follow it, redistributing her weight as her right forepaw landed back on the ground and jumping forward. Jumping forward caused her right side to spike with pain, but Esti gritted her teeth and tried to ignore it for now, Adrenalin fresh in her system. With her forward movement, Arcus's chest wouldn't hit her hind legs, but rather, his right shoulder would pass roughly over her rump and under her tail. It was awkward as hell, but it didn't hurt. It did, however, put him in range for... ouch. Yup, there it was. Arcus's teeth closed around the base of Esti's tail. The momentum that carried his shoulder across her butt cause his teeth to scrape down the length of her tail painfully before his teeth slipped off near the middle of her tail, causing moderate scrapes from the base of her tail to the middle of her tail. She hoped the long furs of her tail got stuck between his teeth.
Esti kept her shoulders rolled, tucking her chin once again for protection. Her lips curled up in a snarl, her face and eyes scrunching. Her ears remained pinned and her hackles remained fluffed. As soon as Arcus's teeth slid from her tail, Esti tucked it under to protect it and her underbelly. Her weight was already distributed evenly, and her stance was decently wide, her knees bent, nails in the ground, and toes splayed. It was her turn.
With her forward momentum, Esti attempted to grip onto his upper right hind leg. Her head tilted to her left, her upper jaw aiming for the skin to the right of the base of his tail, while her lower jaw sought to bite the area on the hip just back and up from the flank. Her bite was aimed at encompassing his upper hind leg muscles that draped below the right of his spine. Again she lifted her right forepaw, redistributing her weight evenly to her other three paws, and sought to wrap her right forelimb around his hind right leg level with the hock, and pull it towards her. Simultaneously, Esti aimed to ram the center of her chest into her opponent's right hind leg at the knee, hoping to knock him off balance once and for all.
