Ocean's Breath Plateau Tonight

^^; depending on how we want this to go, I'm open to any number of things.  If they keep fighting, do we want to roll an outcome?

As Warbone pushed him back towards Osprey, Dante's anger flared harder, and he bit down harder, hoping to cause some measure of injury.  On a normal day, Dante would have never begun this fight in the first place, and had it happened, he would have gladly avoided injury by retreating.  He had no beef with this wolf nor his pack, and would not have desired to start any.

Today, though, logic was not the only thing in play.  In front of Osprey, he could not submit yet, for to turn and run would be to forfeit (in his mind) any rights he had to father her pups.  If he could not assert himself here, then he was unworthy of her.  It was an instinct that would require one of two things to happen - his mate to leave the vicinity or the male in front of him to submit.  He had no way of knowing what affect losing this encounter would have in her eyes and the driving force that grew stronger as her time drew on would not allow him to take the risk.
