Tal didn't get to feel more than the briefest millisecond of triumph that his defense and attack had worked before he was resoundingly slapped in the face with a spade-tipped tail. He dropped Maea's leg more from shock than pain, though the ruddy imprint of her noodly appendage remained behind on his cheek, stinging something fierce.
He blinked down at where she landed, his own breath coming quick in his throat, and then he let out a groan and dropped gracelessly down beside her, waving to indicate that he was done. "Those were some pretty crazy kicks," he admitted, rapping his Vest lightly with his knuckles where she'd kneed him. Better there than lower down! "Where'd y'learn t'fight like that?"
Seeing that the bipeds had sorted out their game of tussle-and-pounce, Boreal happily ambled over to flop down on her belly between them, wriggling in the way that only a big dog dragon could manage to shove her shoulders in between them so that they could both have the privilege of petting her while they cooled down.
