She didn't know if her attack would help or make things worse, she was praying that it would help because that bite to his paw looked very painful. With the loud pain filled roar of the beast she knew it had work and her blue eyes saw the male stumble back once his foot was free, but in an instant he was back on the cougar before it could whirl around and get her, yanking it away from her and letting her create deep lacerations within the cat's leg and throwing it with all his muster away from them. The cougar was defeated and limped away from them without a look back.
Her tongue would briefly swipe across her muzzle to try and clean the blood off her pristine white fur. She watched the cougar limp away and for a while she just watched, still on edge just as he was. She was expecting it to come back, to trick them and come hauling back with a full force attack, but it's scent would fade. Her nostrils flaring as she took in the fading scent. She relaxed and her blue eyes would turn to him just as he himself relaxed. The fight was over and they could finally rest easy. He thanked her for the help and she smiled.
"Your welcome... It was a nice reminder of home," she added.
Reminded her of her brothers and their shenanigans as young males. This was really a fight to simply protect each other, but the way this man asserted himself and took the brunt of the attacks were just how her brothers had been. Protecting her, but letting her get some cheap shots in. The difference now is this male had let her lay her part in fending off the cougar, her brothers not so much.
"I'm Elara Durand. That was a Nice introduction of showing off your butt," she smirked playfully, clearly amused.
She thought it would help to bring some humor into this whole situation. She was no healer and wouldn't be much help with his wound, but if need to she would certainly help him to get where he needed to go.
