[God, why does Rosso scream so much. It's like he's getting killed all over again, seriously. And Adrian, who is very sensitive to that as a Manticore, feels his head practically ring from it as he fights to regain the upper hand, as if they were actually wrestling in the first place. Makes sense that they'd go from having a heart-to-heart to immediately trying to pin each other because neither one of them have more than one braincell in their skulls at a time.
Regardless of all the racket Rosso makes, Adrian is not going to stop until he's gotten Rosso down. It's not without a considerable fight- Rosso actually boffs Adrian right in the nose at one point, which stuns him long enough that Rosso was able to like, jump up onto him and nearly knock him back down- but once he recovers he's able to get the upper hand and use his considerable bulk to pin him. It isn't helped by the way his claws dig into his hips in an attempt to push back, Adrian working to try to remember not to let his claws extend out from his paws, lest he actually do damage with them.
At the end of it all, they're nose to nose with one another with Adrian panting to catch his breath, his hair falling in waves across his face and down far enough to brush Rosso's shoulders. He glares back at him for a long moment, and at first there's the hint of a triumphant, assholeish grin working its way onto his features, until he notices that...face Rosso's making, and it causes him to freeze.
What...
His lip curls, his expression sort of shifting through a dozen different emotions all at once.]
