The sound of her claw scratching the metal immediately told her of the failure to her attack - how unfortunate. Shifting her foot, she felt his claws poke into her scales with some amount of annoyance. Unfortunately for Washington, he seemed to have forgotten about one obvious part of her anatomy that made fighting a Utahraptor very different than fighting humans or aliens: her tail. The long appendage, easily around the length of the rest of her body, provided instinctive counterbalance. And Delta, like all therapods, mastered it; specifically, her species had a long and robust tail. Without it as a counterbalance and the muscles therein, walking would have been impossible with their size and posture.
Shifting to the side, she put most of her weight on her grounded foot before kicking off-center and skidding the trapped foot off to his side - effectively placing her adjacent to him. And now she took advantage of his second mistake. With the armored front facing her tail, the bits of him exposed to her teeth were all of the flesh and blood variety. Twisting her head, she attempted to snap her jaws around the smaller mammal's hindquarters and yank him to the side. Given that he twice attacked her legs, she moved to the side away from Washington; if he wanted to get there, he'd have to pass her teeth and claws first.
