Huffing, it seemed her instincts' anticipation rang true - Echo forgot her place in the pack order. Growling as a final warning for her younger sister to back off, she held her ground in the face of the charge. Swerving to the side, she avoided Echo's scarred jaws and ignored the claws that tore into her scaled chest. Echo, arguably more aggressive even than Blue, fought recklessly. Delta capitalized on her position at Echo's flank to advance, launching herself forward from a standstill while her sister left herself open for attack by fighting physics in reversing the momentum of such a large body.
Her neck launched forward with her lunge, as she attempted to sink her teeth into the side of Echo's face or neck area. Not to kill, but to hold her younger sister in a subordinate position until the proper pack order was acknowledged. Her clawed arms, likewise, tried to keep hold on Echo's neck. Naturally, fearsome weapons were still weapons, and Echo already had one nasty scar from a lost dominance battle. Even though raptors were pack animals, dominance fights weren't known for their gentle blows.
