Whatever had Kallik riled up, it made him overly hasty and prone to mistakes. Glaukos drew himself together defensively as the other wolf shot towards him yet another time, trying to grab at his dark neck; it was this opening Glaukos had sought.

He had been patient, which was hard for him. In doing so Kallik extended himself but missed his target, leading Glaukos to strike hard against the man instead. He let Kallik draw close and then thrust his shoulder inward and up, much like Aquene the day before, and felt the satisfying clip of brawn against jaw.

Having once been on the receiving end, Glaukos knew how sharp such a strike could sting. Afterward he moved as swiftly as he could to square off towards Kallik, hoping to use the momentum of his success.
