Kimber has been a member of the Chamber a little over a year now and has trained, every day for most of that year but has yet to battle. She is usually quite mouthy, cocky but she knows that she is at square one and although she doesn't know her opponents past often stallions inherently are larger, more muscle and when she arrives; taller. She sees his cards, granted he doesn't have any hidden wilds. In her hand though, she has likely more agility, speed and compact.
There is not much time to deliberate attacks, her opponent is barreling towards her and she can feel her heartbeat in her temple...then her throat. Thu-thud, thu-thud as Fennick draws closer she goes to counter, instinctively by pulling her neck to the right and her front forelegs following to try to provide some space between the two. As she pulled her front to the right to lunge away from her attacker, she was not quick enough - as he aimed to T-bone her barrel, he landed not too far from his target. As her legs lunged forward, her stifle and the glutes became prone to injury. Contact is made.
GOD BLESS ALL THAT IS HOLY THIS. IS. TERRIBLE. Ok, Ok, I'm not dead but this motherfucker is about to get it. Asshole.
She doesn't waste much time, wincing as she can feel the bruising begin to start; the capillaries break, the blood pools, the knot starts forming. She doesn't give Fennick much time to put a good distance between them. She pulls her neck back to the left using her right side to pull her weight inward she sides up with him on his right side. She cannot use her left side to be weight-bearing as it could result in more injury. Just as he comes to turn to face her she stretches her neck up and kicks her front legs out, her balance shaky as she aims for his shoulder. Her teeth are bared, partially because if he tries to bite or retaliate inward she could try to make contact with his mandible or better yet; eyes - partially because she's a whiney bitch and in pain.
Let's discuss what could happen here shall we?
If Fennick moves to complete a front facing position, he subjects his head, the most probable area being his mandible (she's not quite high enough or with enough momentum to reach his poll assuming he will protect his eyes/head at all costs) or nose area. Resulting in a nasal bone being crushed, his jaw being crushed or fractured, teeth being jarred all of which could result in even more weight lost on an already thin frame. If she makes contact with the assumption she's approaching his right side at just shy of a 90 degree angle the shoulder is subjected here along with the elbow, potentially the withers or rib area. If he happens to rear in defense he may collide with her and end up causing more harm if contact was made sooner with more power. He could launch himself forward like she had, providing a similar injury or worse due to being an overhead attack this could take out that vulnerable hip or a spinal/nerve injury. Sidestepping was a slow task and she would surely make contact. The possibilities were endless, we can assume but the attack is over.
She has no option but to lag somewhat from her attack, luckily adrenaline is keeping her going as she the strain on her injury may not allow her to continue for multiple rounds. Coming down from the rear, she pivots to the right giving her a good distance from the front of her body from Fennick. She goes to circle him, one because a moving target is harder to hit and two because as much as it hurts she knows that the swelling will grow if she stays still.
Maybe she will rethink this whole army thing when this is over, shit.
