OOC~Brennt's never had to deal with anyone like Haku before XD If this powerplay is unacceptable, let me know. I thought that giving him the upper hand early on would help to make it interesting, as--short of an unexpected surge of strength--he doesn't have any tools for turning fights around once they go south.
The creature that burst through the doorway was a blur of brown fur and a white flash of fangs. For a moment, as if in slow motion, the predator's pupils dilated within their yellow rings, and its jaws began to part as its head followed the intruder's trajectory into the room. As it had against Dawali, the predator stood off to the side, waiting for its pursuer to enter the room after it. Brennt was a stupid wolf, but when he had forgotten himself, when the child of his mother was put away, he became a creature of superb instinct, of exquisite ferocity, of primeval intensity and cunning. The brown-gray were surged into its charging enemy, pinning him against the wall, fangs biting into his collar and sinking black claws deep under the skin before lifting him up, into the air with the muscles in his arms and neck, and slamming them down to the ground with such viciousness as would level any lesser opponent. The floorboards wailed against the impact, and roared as toe-claws dug tracks through them seeking purchase as the two foes scrambled for position.
The predator had already learned that it was a little bigger than its opponent, which was important. That meant that pinning him to the ground should be possible, and if it could do that, it could kill him. The monster was outrageously strong, but it had no conception of who it was fighting, or what rival expertise it faced. As a combatant, it excelled in combat instinct, in endurance and strength, and was notable for being capable of great speeds at its size. It had faced those who were wholly beneath it in ability, as well as those who exceeded it in strength and size, and one whose skill was great enough to counter its instincts and size. It could not know what obstacles this enemy would pose for it...only that getting enemies on the ground made them much easier to kill, and because analysis was not a tool at its disposal, a fast-paced battle with no intervals for planning was usually to its advantage.
