Duskfire Glacier maeth

d: 7, a: 16!

the strike lands hard—sharp pain lances through his shoulder, sinking in deep enough to draw blood, but not so deep as to shake him.
faust grunts, the breath driven from his chest in a short burst. he staggers, one step, two—then sets.
and turns.
the retaliation comes without a word—swift and merciless. faust's weight shifts, and he barrels forward with the full brunt of muscle and momentum behind him, jaws snapping not for a feint but for the base of astier’s neck. not to kill—but to claim. to show the difference between strength hard-earned and strength honed in shadow.
his growl rises low from the pit of his gut, thunder pressed through grit teeth.
he would bleed, yes.
but he would not lose.
