Hunter or Hunted

Noir had no fear. Even soaking wet and outweighed he wasn't about to back down from the threat in front of him. He was lucky mountain lions relied on stealth, otherwise she would have attacked already. As it was the lioness was measuring her ability. If he had been any smaller of a pup he likely would have been dead already. He growled deeply, showing his teeth as he tried to make himself seem bigger than he was.
The cat followed him as he retreated backwards, but he had managed to find a ledge. If he could only ascend the face with out breaking their eye contact. He didn't know how long the stand off would last, but the answer wouldn't ever come. Suddenly Shaye appeared. Noir's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't called for help, he had been too confident in his non ability. The alpha scrambled up on the bank and the lioness was the first to blink. Her attention was suddenly completely on the dark coated woman. Noir heard Shaye's command, but he wasn't sure he wanted to obey. He wanted in on this action. She wasn't a terribly large cat and he could help!
The young pup returned to his previous strategy and climbed the bank behind the cat. He scrambled a bit over the loose rocks, but gained purchase on the more stable boulders. His heart raced in his chest as he found a stable place to coil his haunches beneath him and aim to leap at the she cat. The boulder looked akin to a beanbag chair, but it was nestled in many loose rocks and larger stones. He looked down perfectly at his opponent as the cat sunk her teeth into Shaye's scruff.
Noir felt a sense of urgency as he pushed off against the rock and launched himself into the air. With the cat distracted by Shaye Noir was able to sneak in his own attack. With jaws parted and his front legs out he aimed at the lioness' thin back. His chest hit her shoulder as his legs wrapped around her neck. Noir aimed his sharp teeth at the opposite side of Shaye, and as he connected effectively pulled the cat down and off of Shaye's back.
He shook his head violently, pulling the cat down to show Shaye the vulnerable side of her neck. She was smart though, and instead of attacking him she opted to put more effort into retreat than a big meal.
