Redtail Rise i've been watching him for my entire life

She is down, but she is a pesky thing.

Quick to lunge at his side with paws and he had been left with no choice but to absorb the blow of it. His side left with an ache certain to bloom into a beautiful bruise beneath the surface.

Of course, he lurched beneath her force some too, partially reclined as his hind legs folded beneath the pressure.

It is repetitive, but once more he sought to purchase teeth in her neck — or shoulder, somewhere tender in the area — as his head whipped into her. A sharp rumble built in his chest. Yet still there was no malice or anger. Instead, it was a shared rush of adrenaline.
