have at thee, brother

Logic and morality gave way for instinct, and Skoll let his blood overtake him. He was a wolf defending his position from a usurper, an alpha meeting a challenge—not a brother fighting a brother. It was probably the only thing that’d keep him sane and fighting, knowing what he was doing, and so he simply struck without thinking, his lips wrinkled back and face contorted with legs. Strong white teeth gnashed at the air as he snarled, but he still didn’t cut into Hati, knowing deep down that it’d be wrong to draw blood. The ancestral wolf did not need to kill to prove a point; he only needed to make it known that he had won.

Hati’s yelp as he fell drew him out of his rage for an instant, and he stood waiting as the dark Catori curled on the ground. Honor might not have prevented him from striking in the first place, but it did prevent him from kicking a man while he was down. He only snarled, demanding that Hati get back up or submit.

His brother did rise—but first flung something at Skoll’s face. The werewolf growled and shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut against the debris. Blindly and stupidly, he tried to lash out, but when he opened his watering eyes, Hati barreled against him. Both tumbled down to the earth, the larger sibling pinned underneath the smaller, where he barked defiantly. He wouldn’t allow himself to stay on his back for long. He drew his paws up to strike his brother again, his body constantly moving in an attempt to heave Hati off him and perhaps even reverse their positions.

Skoll fights fair! Kinda. Anywhoo, one thing I neglected to figure out is how this was gonna end. xD A mutual decision would probably work best, but...
