Neverwinter Forest Catch me if you can

Though the other male seemed larger, he was quick on his feet and shifted his flank out of Shrike's reach so that Shrike snapped his jaws together and felt a trickle of pain surge through his jaw upon having closed them around nothing. He recovered quickly, though, in time to leap out of Onai's grasp when those sharp fangs came in for a bite at his shoulder. He growled in a low, rumbling tone, as though offended Onai would even try to touch him. Neither were landing many hits, and save for the small cut on Shrike's muzzle and the wounds about Onai's jawline, both were still in good form. 

He would have to try harder, and land a serious hit so that he could fend Onai off. Lowering his jaw, he snaked his head low and lunged forward, aiming to grab the same spot he'd grabbed earlier, just below Onai's jawbone. If it had worked once, it might work again, and double the pain.
