Sun Mote Copse P.S. I hope you're happy.

A feint was one of the oldest tricks in the book (no offense, Uncle Elwood). Though impossible to predict accurately, Towhee anticipated it and began swinging her body broadside even as her godfather suddenly darted to her right. Purely by chance, that was the direction she had swung toward, causing his snout to crash into the soft spot between her stomach and her hip.

Ignoring the discomfort of impact, Towhee opened her own jaws and made to grab at his right hind leg. If she did manage to get it, she wouldn't apply pressure, nor would she try to pull his foot out from beneath him. That would risk injury, which was totally unnecessary. Besides, this was merely an assessment, and whether or not she landed her hit would tell her all she needed to know.
