Brawl
Shanku made a leap at him and Maston deftly drove an elbow into the top of her head to deter her. Shanku yipped and fell to the ground. She grunted as Mason gave her a hard kick to the ribs. She jumped with the momentum and landed on her hands and feet a short distance away. Maston was on top of her in a moment. Shanku barely leapt away to avoid Maston attempting to stomp down on her back. She landed on the end of the bowsprit, and dug her claws into the wood with a growl.
Maston charged in her direction and Shanku leapt again. She darted a clawed hand out quickly and sliced his chest open.
"Boo!" came the discouraging cry from one of the pirates.
Maston grimaced and clutched his chest as the blood flowed freely. He glared at Shanku as she landed on the deck and promptly kicked her in the backside.
Shanku yipped and scampered away out of reach of another kick. She turned and glared at him. She feinted a jump at him and ducked to the side as he tried to kick her once more. She swiveled around and sank her teeth into this thigh.
"Yowoo!" Mason cried as Shanku ripped back with a hunk of meat in her mouth.

Brawl
She's hard-headed in more than just the "stubborn" sense. Even if she manages to win, she still got her butt kicked. Even if he manages to win, he still got his butt bit. Gettin' kicked hurts, shod or not. The big ball-lookin' thing she landed on is the bowsprit.
How strange that my sailors are light-framed and clean-shaven while my pirates are big, burly, and hairy.
Apologies if the pirate is coneheaded in that final panel. I'm in the middle of a birthing class. Lots of pictures. While the conehead babies don't bother me, there are other... views... I could have well lived without ever seeing. Not that I'm seeing anything new as far as mammals go, it's just that humans are considerably more disgusting than goats. I'd much rather prefer being in a barn or pasture with a goat than with a woman. All I know is that if your fella is dedicated enough to you to attend these graphic and embarrassing classes, you need to keep them or work out whatever issues you have with them. These poor guys almost deserve medals after the things they've seen. My husband has super glued a guy's guts back in (be careful with chainsaws, folks) and even he felt scarred after seeing some... things.
Sorry this page got posted so late in the day. The past few days have been a bit rough. I'm almost in my final month, so I'm required to be on the road twice a week now. Dealing with doctors is quite stressful and I'm getting sick and tired of being told that the kid or I one are going to die if we're not both full of needles, IVs, drugs, monitors, and if I'm not induced and then given a c-section. Oh, let's not forget the reconstructive surgery I'll need later because all my tissues and muscles will supposedly be damaged beyond repair. 
Children have been born at home and outside for hundreds of thousands of years, I really don't think a hundred years of it being popular to birth in a hospital has crippled us as a species beyond making us weak psychologically and too reliant on painkillers.
