**This thread takes place before her Fall year 17, seasonal**

The flat lands at the bottom of the cliffs near the Wall had been calling Tove. Today, she had finally taken time to make the careful climb down and now slowly walks through the small forest. The air is cooler in the canyon and the nebula-cloaked woman shivers. She prefers warm climates but the call of adventure had been too strong to ignore. The wind shifts and Tove suddenly halts as she smells a large feline on the breeze. A tiger bursts from some nearby foliage and the starry woman releases a howl for help as she dodges a massive paw that is aimed at her face. Planting her paws, Tove stands her ground and growls at the large cat.

Kichi hadn’t been far away, already on the hunt for a fight, and was quick to respond to the howl.  This wasn’t some noble sort of rescue mission, this was running to join in a potential fight.  Torch jogged along with him, though as they saw the threat the small deer held up even as Kichi continued forward.

Kichi runs straight for the cat’s side.  At the last second before they would have collided the cat spins around to face him.  Kichi moves to bite directly at the cat’s face and the tiger aims a bite right back at him.  In the end both pull back with neither shedding blood.  Kichi enjoyed shedding blood but if nothing else he left an opening for the other wolf.
Torch hung back, the little fanged deer watching with its tail twitching thoughtfully.  It had engaged in battle before but most the time it just watched.

Help arrives swiftly, in the form of a gray wolf and a… deer? Tove blinks for a moment, trying to understand what kind of wolf has a deer for a companion. Shaking her head, duel-toned eyes watch as the wolf rushes toward the cat’s side and it spins to greet him. Pale dipped paws push off the ground and send her racing toward the feline. Both wolf and tiger come away without shedding blood and Tove breathes a small sigh of relief. The feline is distracted by her fighting companion and the nebula-clad woman slams into the cat’s shoulder, throwing it off balance. She gives its neck a deep bite before retreating and attempting to keep the tiger’s attention on her.

The moment the tiger’s attention is on Tove Kichi is lunging back into the fight. Biting into the tiger’s back leg, stepping back and jerking the leg to throw it more off balance. The cat is forced to stumble, a front shoulder dropping lower to the ground. It spins around to attack Kichi but it's slow as the feline has to regain its balance. Kichi lets go of the leg and jog around to be a harder target. Being petty Kichi bites the tail when its in range.

Oh yeah, the tiger’s attention is definitely on the blood hungry grey wolf. Once more Tove would be given a wonderful chance to do her own damage to the tiger. Kichi had to jog back and away quickly as the tiger was furiously following him for a counter attack at this rate.
Farther back Torch barked out as if to cheer Kichi on, or maybe trying to scare the cat away? That was his brave Torch.

Tove watches as the gray wolf bites the tiger, doing damage and drawing its fury to him. Duel-toned eyes watch as the tiger moves to follow him, the cat in hot purist. The nebula-cloaked wolf rushes forward. As her companion makes a shallow turn, Tove is rushing up to greet the pair. She slams her body into the tiger’s side, pushing with all her might to knock it off balance. It stumbles and, seeing an opportunity, she grabs at the raised front leg and shoves her shoulder under the armpit. It works, the leverage and lack of leg to help it, has the tiger tumbling over onto its side. Tove pins the cat’s shoulder and waits to see if the male will kill the feline.

While the tiger’s attention is on him Tove manages to get it knocked over. This fight was over. Well, other than the fun wrap-up bit. Kichi stepped in, biting into the tiger’s exposed belly. With one paw on the tiger’s vulnerable belly the grey wolf bites into the flesh. All sorts of things in the belly he could bite into for finishing the job. No bones under here to protect its sensitive organs.

Kichi bites in, spilling open its stomach, and bites another two times again to get at other parts of the body. Honestly, Kichi can’t label every organ but he knows they are needed to live and Kichi is destroying them with his bites one by one. When enough destruction is done and the cat is dead he nods to the other wolf in satisfaction. One more predator is dead.

Stepping around it Kichi bites into the upper part of its tail, with care gnawing it off. A prize for the kill. A little trophy to take home and hang up in his den.
