To the Rescue!

Velvette felt the tiniest hint of relief as Ramesh was quick to find his focus. He usually did when she offered him a chance to draw blood. She spared him her usual disapproving shake of the head and got straight down to business. He fell in front of her, his almost six in difference in height kept him balanced further out on the branch. Though he often did, Ra didn’t argue now. He took her plan and literally ran with it. Like a tiny flash of lightning he sprang into action. Velvette joined him, moving to the left in mirror movement.

Ra took the offensive first, racing to attack the crocodile and remove himself from the beast’s reach just as fast. He was successful in his first attempt, the crocodile was nowhere near her brother as it snapped its jaws together. Velvette didn’t take the time to miss her chance and as the creature closed its mouth she dashed in to take a bit near its eye. She doubted she would be able to blind the thing with one go over, but it was a start. She flew over the creatures head and ascended into the canopy once more, leaving Ramesh to take his turn behind her fleeing form.
