There was a brief moment where the tigers attention seemed to be fully on her. She retreated backwards, keeping her vision locked on the tiger, ready to maneuver away from another attack if the creature tried to come after her, but her fighting partner kept up his end of the attack. She caught sight of him out of the corner of her eyes, but her attention remained on the more dangerous parts of the beast she was fighting. The sharp cry that it let out pierced her ears as it seemed to back down. It lowered itself towards the ground, seeming to give up, and she saw it as the perfect time to drive home the message. Despite her small size, she made up for the lack of height and bulk in tenacity and unrelenting determination. If the tiger were ever to stumble upon her in the future, she wanted to make sure this wasn’t a lesson that would need to be retaught. Especially since she was quite certain that not many others of her kind would be capable of working with her with such coordination in order to defeat it again.

She lunged forward again, jaws snapping and aimed for the tigers neck, but before she could latch onto it, the tiger dart away, fleeing back into the forest, leaving behind the bitter scent of fear. Blood still streamed down her face from the gashes where she had initially been hit, and now that the fight was over, she was starting to feel the pain. It was times like this that she was grateful she had happened upon the healer named Spider. Her wounds would need to be treated, and she only hoped that he would be nearby.

Her gaze moved towards Malleus, assessing the wounds he’d received from the battle. His ear had been shredded, but other than that, the pair seemed to be in relatively good condition, considering they’d just fought off a tiger. “Not many would be so willing to jump into a fight against a tiger to help a perfect stranger.” Her voice was slightly strained from exhaustion and pain. The fight had clearly taken a bit out of her, but the was a hint of admiration in her voice. So far, she’d met few characters in these new lands, but each one of them had proven to be more useful than she would have expected, and very beneficial to her survival within this foreign place
