For a split second, Hati thought he saw surprise on Skoll's face, a look of shock that could have been attributed to momentary fear. Then a burst of pain flared from his knuckles as they collided with the wolfdog's jawbone, a solid crack. The impact bruised his throbbing hand, knuckles already beginning to swell -- he tried to keep the pain from his face as he gritted his teeth, but it seemed to him as though the blow hurt him more than it hurt Skoll, who merely touched his mouth to check for blood.
The realization of what he'd just done made his anger shift to cold fear, clenching in his stomach. Skoll was going to kick his ass for this. Adrenaline was coursing through him, making him tremble all over with anticipation and energy. Hati was still growling in defiance, the rumble resonating through his body as he awaited the retaliation that was sure to come.
With a wild roar, Skoll threw himself forward, using his superior weight to crash into Hati. A heavy-handed blow slammed into his shoulder, knocking him stumbling to one side, into another hit that sent him colliding roughly with the ground, a strained yelp torn unbidden from his throat. They were mismatched in strength, and always had been. His eyes were screwed shut, curling into a defensive ball out of instinct -- he had never been in a fight like this before, and the need to protect himself was far greater than the need to attack. Hati knew he could never gain the upper hand from this dizzying barrage, but if he could break Skoll's concentration, throw him off somehow, he could get back at him. Hati flashed a sneer up at his brother as the idea occurred to him, before grasping a fistful of dirt, flinging it up into Skoll's eyes to blind him. Then he launched himself bodily at his golden sibling, intending to tackle and drag him down to the ground beneath him.
