An individual who was able to thwart his burly body was a rare one indeed; Njal had not encountered someone like Jinx in Kindred, or anywhere in between. She managed to withstand his thrust of momentum upon her, which made him quickly reconsider his style of battle. If she could handle that, then she could probably retaliate - so he did what came naturally, and ducked away from her. This was partially successful, as her pale body collided with his shoulder but did not make him lose his footing. He did stumble a step, but was quick to rebalance. Njal's new stance and position placed him farther from her neck and closer to her middle, so he dove towards her body with teeth gaping - slamming at her with his thick skull and trying to grab at the tender flesh of her hip. It was not something Njal usually did in battle; he was more adept at bowling over his opponent and simply pinning them, but that had proven to be difficult when faced with Jinx and her indomitable weight. The man found himself commending her mentally for her ability, while snapping his teeth so close to her flesh.
