[ If the pleased look on her face was any indication, Apollo was enjoying herself as well. She was a high energy person, so finally getting the chance to do some physical fighting with a worthwhile opponent was probably good for her.
Apollo had immediately taken advantage of his stumble by rushing him, trying to knock him around as much as she could before he regained his footing. His protective stance turned out to be effective though - the horns got her to ease off and back up, instinctively careful (but not afraid) of them. She'd hunted enough boar and stag to know to keep her eye on appendages like that. He was successful in throwing her off to fix his footing, but with as quick as she was, it allowed her time to catch herself as well. A couple feet of distance between them now, Apollo bounced a bit on her feet as she realigned her arms and fell back into a fighting stance. Then she was grinning again and challenging him with a gesture of her fingers that very clearly meant "come at me". ]
