Never Smile At A Crocodile

Acere's gaze found the creature soon after Odysseus spoke. A brow rose at the sight of the grumpy creature. He had heard about them, but hadn't seen one up close before. He used to live in an area full of them as well, but they were always hiding in the water. Assuming this was the same creature as the ones from his past. He eyed it, watching as it lunged towards Odysseus but his packmate had been able to get out of reach and even returned the favor. Well, it seemed this reptilian creature wasn't going to let them by without some trouble.

Odysseus soon spoke up again, and Ace nodded at the plan. He wasn't one to hesitate, either. Within moments Ace darted in as soon as Ody started advancing towards it, hoping that it would be distracted enough for him to get a couple quick bites. He lunged towards the left side of crocodile's hind leg, jaws splayed as he aimed a bite first at that hind left leg. He felt his teeth sink for a moment before he released again and quickly sought another bite around the same spot. At that point, the crocodile had lifted that same leg in an attempt to get it away from him, causing Ace to instead bite its foot. The wolf's teeth closed around the toes, and when he pulled back, he could feel the breaking of bones and tearing of flesh.

He skittered away just in time, leaping in the air like a cat scared of a cucumber as soon as that Crocodile turned to get a chunk out of him. Crimson gaze spotted those jaws and teeth as it tried to lunge, hissing with pain. Ace managed to get out of range, and he stood with hackles raised, ready to move again. He realized then that he had something in his mouth, and he spit to find that he had managed to tear off a few toes. Oops. He hadn't meant to do that. He shuddered in slight disgust, but it wouldn't keep him from plotting his next move.
