Thunder Dome Haunting everything I lost

He retreated, clearly not liking that he went for her face.
Who would, seeing his?

She backed up, and he followed.
He wanted to put her on her ass.
Not to hurt her physically, but her pride certainly.

He went for her foreleg, aiming to swipe it out from beneath her.
If she decided not to continue and retaliate then, then neither would he.
He'd try to talk more before leaving for home.
