Ouroboros Spine In the fell clutch of circumstance

When Kroc stumbled backward, Tonravik moved forward, toward her, and then Kroc herself came at her again. Tonravik watched the other part her jaws and reach for her the area between shoulder and throat, and Tonravik's own jowls split open to jaw spar the other, tilting her head to intervene with Kroc's ability to get a true grip. She felt her subordinates fangs brush her gingerly, but there was no purchase to be had in that moment.

She feinted forward, acting as though this was how she intended to knock the woman off balance, but instead quickly lashed out with her foreleg to attempt to hook it around Kroc's and pull it from beneath her if she could. Tonravik kept her foreleg close by, so she could draw it right back should Kroc think to go for it.
