my friend's mom

Poem jumped to battle, steering the creature away from Motif with her action, and the young girl was left watch with wide eyes as Poem and the honey badger collided. The next thing she knew Poem was knocked over, and Motif yowled in surprise and jumped forward, spitting and hissing at the creature in anger.

At first, she thought her leap had intimidated the creature, because it paused, and Motif was instantly over her sister in a protective stance. She might not know much fighting, but she was there for Poem, always.

In the next moment, she realised their playmate, and the creatures offspring had intervened, it had approached its mother, and bit her scruff and growled at her. They seemed to talk for a moment, before the mother puffed himself up, scowled warningly at the two kids, and padded off with her babe.
