Xephyris vs Cypress
Cypress would charge forward like a bat out of hell. His shoulders rolled forward, head aligned with his spine and chin tucked close. His ears were pinned back, eyes narrowed, and tail tucked beneath him. His stance was widened, his legs spread and weight evenly distributed across his four limbs. His hackles were raised, lips snarling as he threw himself at his opponent in a headlong charge.
Cypress would change direction at the last moment, veering off to the side. He would hit the ground hard, claws biting into the soil as he veered off to his own left, his opponent's right. Then, as he tried to come alongside the other, he sought to slam his right side into Xyphyris' own to knock the other off balance. In addition he would raise his right forepaw to attempt to strike down upon Xy's back right forepaw squarely upon the toes, shifting his weight back to his other three legs as he did so.
Xephyris braced himself as Cypress came at his right side to slam him, his left legs bending further to take the impact of the other male's body slam. Cypress' right shoulder slammed into Xeph's ribs, causing the wind to be knocked from him momentarily - the strike would probably cause some bruising and soreness. Although he had braced, he still shuffled a couple of steps back and to his left from the force of Cypress' strike - Xeph's right hind paw narrowly missed the crushing stomp that Cypress was aiming for. With a gasping breath inward, Xephyris turned the front of his body to the right and readjusted his weight to his hind legs before lunging toward Cypress with all of his might and speed, the meaty part of his right shoulder trying to ram against the alter's right shoulder, directly where the joint met in the crook of the lower neck and upper forechest. He hoped to jar the other slightly and put him off balance as well. At the same time, his neck craned to the right, head tilting to the right, his jaws opening and aiming toward the right side of Cypress' face - his incisors aimed to catch the male's cheek where there was plenty of loose skin, below the eye and just back from the edge of the jowls. He didn't intend to make a deep bite, only to get a hold if he could.
As his hind legs did all the work and his jaws tried to connect, his right forepaw would lift upward and come crashing down toward the alter's right forepaw, hoping to make them sore with a good crushing. His weight would redistribute once more to the three paws remaining on the ground, while his face remained crinkled in a snarl, ears pinned back and hackles raised, tail swinging to help him shift his weight appropriately.

Hackles were raised across his body, shoulders rolled forward as he threw his weight backward to rise off the ground. All the weight of his body would be balanced on back legs, front legs aiming to wrap around Xephyris’ head in a bearhug around his neck. The other man would crash into him, causing Cypress to stagger back a couple steps, but fall towards his intended target. The jaws of his opponent would meet the soft, delicate flesh where his right foreleg met his chest. His opponent’s jaws wound sink in about three quarters of an inch deep, gaining the hold he sought. Though, thanks to Cypress’ shift in position, the paw stomp would completely miss. Tail remained tucked under his body, a snarl ripping from his throat.
In addition to the bear hug Cypress would aim to latch his jaws onto his opponent’s head, top jaw landing above his opponent’s left ear and bottom jaw hopefully latching below the jaw of the other.

Just then he felt the other man's paws wrap around his neck, and though Xeph didn't release the grip he'd found with his jaws, he shifted his weight back slightly, knees and elbows bending slightly and legs spreading out to hold himself up as the alter's weight came down on him. His tail swept from side to side as he adjusted his weight, toes spreading and claws digging into the ground to support himself. His ears remained folded and muzzle wrinkled up, narrowing his eyes as Cypress aimed his jaws towards Xeph's head. Cy's jaws would meet their mark. He felt teeth strike the top of his head directly in front of his left ear, and teeth hooked just underneath the line of his jaw on the same side, puncturing the skin, shallower under the jaw and slightly deeper on top of his head.
With a rumbling growl, adrenaline surging through him now, Xephyris would shake his head harder, jaws still clamped down on Cy's skin, trying to dislodge the other male from his body. As he thrashed, both of his forelegs would bend significantly, muscles coiling before springing upward, hoping to jar the alter's jaws and get him to release his hold - as he did this, his weight shifted to his hinds (as well as parting his own jaws and releasing his grip on Cypress), and with the hind legs he sprung straight forward, further making an attempt to dislodge his opponent and get out of his grip, hoping to put a little distance between them once more.
