It was always pleasing when a plan succeeded, no matter how simple it was. The nip on Aaron's rear had a much desired effect, and Lace had to keep himself from laughing out loud when the colt jumped and spun around to glare at him, surprise painted all over the two-colored face. The Glazier only grinned back, ears pricked forward in anticipation of the next move while the black hooves shifted slightly beneath him, spreading wider in preparation; he wanted to be ready to move in any direction, no matter how the young warrior would come at him.
The thought that this boy would be able to shake the very earth with a light tap of a hoof was not something he had expected though. It was Lace's turn to be surprised now, as for a moment the grass-covered roots and rocks beneath his feet was made to tremble. It unbalanced him, it delayed his reaction as the young draft scurried forward to attack just enough for the boy to be able to land a mark on him; though not exactly where he had wished for it to land. The former mercenary, once stabilized once more, had dug his hooves deep into the damp forest floor and launched forward, enough to make the nip land upon the broad gold-dusted flank instead. Grimacing slightly from discomfort he continued ahead a few strides, then turned and shouted - only to be awarded with the sight of a snarling Fajira leaping from the ground and scratch at the soldiers pale shoulder.
This time he had to laugh. Not at Aaron, but at the content look upon the dragons face as she warbled and flapped the wings, retreating to the air once her goal had been accomplished. She looked so pleased, so happy where she flew, and the feeling affected the stallion even though he couldn't feel her emotions reflect within his soul.
It made him set off in a high-kneed trot, ground-covering and fast, turning slightly to the right in order to encircle the younger equine. Golden eyes watched him carefully as he danced round and around, relentlessly searching for a weak spot where he could place another nip, a determined kick - only to teach the boy how much he still had to learn.
With the tail set high and neck painting an elegant arch against the spring green backdrop of the forest, the rhythm of his hooves suddenly changed as the experienced stallion abandoned the circle and fell in to attack. Coming at his herd-mate on the others left side, he approach from behind at a diagonal angle and tried to ram the sturdy shoulder with his own, putting the weight of his body and the momentum of the attack into it to shove Aaron out of balance. Prepared for an eventual side step, the black-masked crafter quickly followed up with a bite toward the left side of the painted neck, another quick nip intended to mark more than injure.

Was distracted and slightly shaken off balance by the quake. Took the nip at the right flank after leaping forward.
Began circling around Aaron in a clockwise direction, suddenly fell in from a position behind and to the left of him, to ram his side and push him off balance. Aimed a nip at the left side of his neck, on the upper middle part.
Edit: Forgot that I had a defense post too, so removed a bit from the bottom. ^^;]
