Nightingale's feint to the shoulder was well-played, but Fox was quick to read her movements. Being a small wolf herself, Fox had played the "get under your opponent and flip them over" game before. However, it had never bee played on her. Still, there was a disadvantage that Nightingale had not seen. She had left her hind end exposed, and Fox nipped at the girl's haunches. Since this was no aggressive fight, Fox only wished to make it apparent that she could have taken a chunk out of her.

Not only had Nightingale left herself wide-open to attack from behind, but Fox let her legs go limp, which—if Nightingale did not get out of the way soon enough—would cause the girl to be trapped beneath her. Because they were of similar size, that likely wouldn't matter, but what if it had been a larger wolf the size of Haunter or Njal. They were likened to bears, and for good reason.

Leaping aside, Fox took the offense this time, using her head and shoulders in an attempt to knock Nightingale off her feet. The other girl's slightly smaller size was to her disadvantage this time, and Fox was curious to see how she would respond.
