GOT AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER
But the devil always won...
Harbringr was slower to get to his feet than he'd like, the sudden screech of an owl alerted him to Costanza's prescense as she dove at the bear talon's slashing at it's face to ward it away from Hair who was still in a daze. The bear roared and slashed at her but then was suddenly violently concerned with what was going on behind it and it whirled around with a bleating roar of fury and pain. Hari shook his head as he finally got back to his feet with a grin as he saw what the youth was doing. Ah, hell yes! They were taking this bastard down several pegs. He wouldn't dare confront a wolf after this.
The bear sat down firmly on the ground protecting Harbringr's original target so he had to pick a different one. Harbringr launched forward while the bear was distracted, his fangs digging into the nape of the bear's neck. He quickly pressed himself flush against the bear to avoid the claws that were trying to get at him. All was well until the bear tipped backward. Shit! Harbringr let go and tried to get out of the way but he fell to the ground with the bear on top of him, the beasts back crushing into his belly. Hopefully though this revealed some tender targets for the younger wolf to go after that would finally get the bear to give up and leave them alone.
