Like a Stone

Vale's hold on the big cat was still strong, as he was grappled onto the beasts left side. He was surprised that this cat knocked the wind out of Elias and let go, but only for a moment to assess their positioning and plan his next move. He had barely enough time to consider another attack before the cat came for him again, his attention seemingly focused on Vale alone. Those nasty fangs came for his neck in the same spot the healer had just tended to. Hell no, Vale wasn't going to let that slide. He leaped backward, giving them about a foot of space again. Still, the brute wasn't going to keep it like that for long.

With Elias looking at the creature's precious vitals from the other side, Vale had a plan in mind. Hopefully, Elias would see where he was going with his plan and join in with him. It would take a team effort to take this thing down, their usual tactic of throwing it off balance to get the advantage was ruined by the weight of this massive cat. A smirk played at those blackened leathery lips and he looked to Elias for a quick confirmation glance before making his move. Vale would fake the big cat out, first making it think that he was moving to his side again, leading the cat to leave its vitals exposed. At this moment, Vale leaped into action, using a paw to push the cat's face out of the way as he latched onto its thick neck. Volatile jaws closing in around the thick of the beast's neck, he could feel the blood pumping through its veins with this severe attack. Metallic liquid splashed into his mouth, the bitter taste just what Vale needed to push him over the edge again.

Voices were faint, but he was waiting for Elias' next move to focus on them. He could rely on the voices to really bring out the violent bastard he needed to finish this cat off. The cat of course flailed beneath his hold, as he couldn't use his jaws for much in the position they were in. Instead, the cougar brought his front paw up to swat at Vale. Both swipes that the cat attempted were successful. Moderate gashes in Vale's side stung, but it only fueled the man. The beast only sent him into more of a frenzy. The voices grew louder and Vale's eyes widened, a grin pulling at the corners of his bloodied lips. Those sharp teeth dug in deeper, threatening to one of those precious veins, but Vale still held some control. He wanted this bastard to suffer for trying to ruin what was supposed to be a decent evening for once.
