[Morrison]

As the first flash of claws appeared before Morrison, the canine smirked in the face of the leader. "So, they have made their choice," he affirmed. Reveling in his own superiority, the former captain stepped back. His head swiveled backwards and stared down his comrades as claws unsheathed, teeth started to bare, and growls rumbled. They were doing this, weren't they? Morrison, in realization, continued his previous action of lowering to the ground. Cracked claws dug into the sand beneath his paws in anticipation, waiting for someone to strike. The first attack would not be his. His goal was to fight defensively, rolling and ripping through the area swiftly to keep them on their toes.

Orange orbs caught a bellowing fool staggering towards him. The female's blackened claws reached out towards his sharp features, causing his head to turn in response. Sharp daggers flew past, lightly scraping at his cheeks and drawing blood, but not enough for the hardened captain to flinch. In response, as she jostled past, the canine attempted to jolt forward and snap at their backside, aiming for their tail. If successful, he would pull her back into his realm to try and continue the fight. (Maybe even ripping it off in response due to it's small size.)

Lucinder had surprised him though. As his head was turned, the other dove. Their weight caused him to collapse onto the ground with a thud! Morrison's eyes widened and turned up to his attacker. Seeing talons flashing in the reflective sunlight, he turned and rolled out from underneath the other's weight. As he slid onto his paws and rose to his full stature again, the wolf snarled. "Ye can do better than that, mama's little man." In one swift movement, he attempted to lash out with his left paw and swipe at the other's shins in an attempt to temporarily render their back legs useless until the pain subsided.
