Overture Downs Burning Off Some Steam

Howl got a hold of Ezekiel's shoulder and the attack seemed to hit hard as the two moved backwards. Howl was in a good place now by he could feel his energy leaving him. His prior exercise and his sour leg made his alot more difficult for him. But he had learned something, when Ezekiel went to jump up on his hind legs Howl released his grip. He knew that on the way down the pressure would cause more pain to his leg as it had done before. But Ezekiel wasn't up for long and on his way down he placed his paws on Howl's shoulders.

The weight caused Howl to give out on his sour leg and lower himself to the ground. Ezekiel then grabbed Howl's scruff keeping him on the ground. Howl didn't resist, he knew that Ezekiel had one this duel and that there was no deed to drag it on any further. "Nice job" he said as he rested on the ground to clarify Ezekiel's victory so he might let him go.
