Drake moved as close to Maria as he could before she attacked. He braced as she came towards him. He hoped getting closer to her would stop her from gaining as much speed, and therefore less momentum. He nearly stumbled back as Maria collided with him. He let out an involuntary shout of pain, but managed to get himself standing over her. He wedged his legs under hers so she couldn’t move them, and he gently grabbed her muzzle and wrapped his free arm under her armpits.
