Greatwater Lake roped up, rat in a cage

He doesn't expect the golden wolf to be quite as slow as he is; he'd anticipated the other turning again to follow his circling, but instead he finds himself face to face with his opponent. He ducks just in time to avoid a crushing grip around one tall ear, though the other's teeth catch it anyway, leaving deep scrapes as Zephyr pulls away and to one side. He considers darting further to the side, but opts instead for the unexpected. He lunges forward, aiming to nip the stranger's nose and simultaneously push into his chest with one paw — and hopefully use the momentum to fling himself away and back around, making another lightning-bolt circle around the other wolf.
