bone mountain

His opponent went low as he charged, teeth grabbing insufficiently. All that was in his mouth was fur, but it was enough for Tatsuya. Despite the situation he was now in, he did not let go. Iqniq was successful in shaking him off, at least. They would have matching spots on both of their necks now. Having paid his transgressor back, he briefly thought of leaving their fight as is. No blood, no tears. A dispute that could be settled benignly but would continue to persist in the future. This is ridiculous, childish...downright petty, but I want more.

He did not want to be the first to draw blood, honestly. Even now he skirted around that fact by not ripping Iqniq a new one. Even when he had expressed regret in following through bloodying his foe, Tonravik remained oddly quiet yet also invested. As if she was impartial to having one or two of her own injured. I should have known better. She enjoyed this, didn't she? To have two wolves fighting about an inane disagreement. It's...understandable, I suppose. If they were to come anywhere close to settling this, it would have to be through blood. Whether the wolverine liked it or not. Perhaps this is why she did not involve herself, but would her absence in this matter continue?

The Epsilon's shoulders were now level with his opponent's. Now Iqniq's neck was inaccessible, sadly, but so was the wolverine's. Tucking his tail protectively, Tatsuya tried to snake his right fore paw between Iqniq's hind legs whilst also leaning his upper body down to place his weight beneath Iqniq's stomach. Once in place, he tried to shove Iqniq up and away while also disabling his right hind leg. Iqniq would likely feel the sharp protrusion of his shoulder blade if Tatsuya was successful, cutting into his stomach like that. Hurts like a bitch. He would have to overcompensate just to stay on his feet and that's exactly what Tatsuya wanted.
