Between a rock and a hard place

Snarling with the last of her defiant resolve, Iskra figured she probably learned this lesson a bit too late. Talk about having a bad day, though, heavens above this really wasn't how she had planned to go down! The irate bear lumbered closers and closer, seemingly relishing her realization that she was effectively trapped. Feeling it's hot breath on her face as it neared she wondered if she should try to snap at it before it beat her to death, eyes reflexively flinching as it moved in and- nothing?
A snarl ripped through the air, one that was far more canine than the ones she'd just been hearing from mere feet away. Suddenly her assailant's attention was drawn away letting Iskra breathe for a moment while it tried to get an angle on whoever was coming to Iskra's rescue. The more it stumbled around trying to figure out where they were and how to nab them the more she felt like she might not see the end of her days just yet. A man leaped down from his purchase on the animals' back to stand between Iskra and the enraged bear. Stepping away from the wall to join the snarling display and tell her attacker to get out, Iskra stood near Regulus, hackles raised and lips drawn back.
When at last it turned tail she too waited with baited breath to make sure that the bear wouldn't grow bold and return. Once it was only a faint sound in the far, far distance she let out a sigh of relief and allowed her body to relax, rump hitting the ground as a nervous chuckle escaped her. That was more than likely the most adrenaline she'd ever felt hit her at once. Wow. The chuckle grew into a laugh as she shook her head faintly at her own stupidity and replied, "Oh, you know, lost my mind and decided to poke him while he was sleeping. I don't think fuzzbutt enjoyed that a whole lot!"
Looking to meet his Sapphire gaze with her own ocean blues, Iskra smiled and got a bit more serious as she calmed. Hey, he was tall ! And red, like her! Who knew there were more red wolves. "My name's Iskra Aeris. Thanks for saving my hide, guess I should learn not to be an idiot now that I got to watch my life flash before my eyes. Although, it was pretty cool." Never again though, bears were officially not on the list of acceptable creatures to disturb. Not that they ever should have been on it.
