3/5 — Xan misses

The uncalculated flailing of his limbs had done nothing to the woman, for his claws never managed to touch her. It was infuriating that she'd been successful in getting a grip on him, especially since it was his muzzle she'd grasped. Originally, it had been he who'd aimed for such a mark, but he had failed when trying to do so. That only served to annoy him, as he could not understand what he'd done wrong. Soon after, she'd released her hold on him, which caused him to stumble a few paces back. Quickly, his footing was regained, but not soon enough. Not even a second had passed before he felt teeth touch his flesh once more, but this time it was his leg that had acquired her attention.

He was left unable to get his leg free, and the second she'd pulled up on it he could feel his entire equilibrium shift. Her goal had been completed as Alexander's body started to wobble, eventually leading to him falling once she'd let go. His side had crashed down against the ground, knocking the wind straight out of his lungs and leaving him gasping for air. Despite that, the young Inuit still wasn't ready to give up. He'd witnessed his opponent falling back onto her rump, and somehow that urged him to get up. He'd pushed himself up from the dirt, tongue lolling as he panted and greedily took in as much oxygen as he could. Not wanting to wait for her to regain her composure, the boy's frame lurched forward and he aimed for the woman once more, however he'd put little thought into his attack. It was unplanned, an impulse that he'd acted upon, and would definitely be easily dodged.
