Moonspear Count to ten

The silver-haired boy kept his gaze fixed on Charon as the Alpha leaped towards him. He tried to anticipate Charon's direction and attempted to feint away from the strike on his left side. He wasn't quite fast enough, however, and felt Charon's teeth graze his shoulder. There was no intention to harm, but the nip left the area smarting as Floki darted to the right.

Rather than adopt another defensive stance, he pushed off immediately with his paws and moved towards his brother. Although he wasn't particularly skilled, he let his instincts guide him as he aimed to circle around Charon and land a false bite on his flank.
