Ouroboros Spine run as fast as you can

By narrow margin, Tatsuya avoided Arverk's teeth yet again, feeling the force behind the resounding snap! as he drew his arm out of harm's reach. Considering how close they were at that very moment, they both scrambled away from each other. Were there onlookers, it would have appeared comical to watch. To the Zeta, maintaining distance was essential.
INDENTTatsuya was a creature borne of temerity. Because of this, he was used to fighting. Not that he has won a lot of battles, mind you, but he has fought many. Very, very many. And if all those disputes has taught him anything, it was to come in close, strike, and flee. Don't let the enemy grab you; get out of the fray as soon as they are nice and bloody. Same when your opponent charges at you: get the hell out of the way. Unless they're smaller than you. If unsure of the aggressor's weight, evade. Better safe the sorry. And if you managed to get your opponent into a compromising position, fight to keep them there.
INDENTLooking into Arverk's cerulean gaze, he seemed to be enjoying this. Tatsuya felt the same, though he expressed his pleasure through an open panting maw rimmed with teeth, skin taut beneath with a (oblivious) maniacal smile. Despite probably looking like a fool, it was a reminder that they were not yet done until one of them was beneath the other.
INDENTTrotting after his stationary opponent, Tatsuya rushed into a full blown gallop, slowing as the distance between them lessened. His outstretched neck appeared to Arverk's left - giving the impression that he wanted to lay into that side of his neck - but in actually, he quickly moved his head down and under his opponent's head, seeking purchase upon the right side of his neck. Moving the rest of his body away from the other's mouth, the Zeta stood firmly at Arverk's shoulder, their bodies pressed together side by side. From here, he could not see the Epsilon slipping free of his grasp with a few shakes. Tatsuya had him by the mouthful and he was not going to let go unless he deferred to him so that they could go on about their spar.
