Cat Got My Tongue

"You assume I would accept it, have I ever wanted help?" He shrugged, not really caring for her show of pride. "Have it your way, just don't come cryin' when you get your ass handed to you one day," There was no shame in asking for help. He had on more than on occasion when he had gotten in over his head. He could learn to work with others and be a team player. That's what being in a pack was about. But she, apparently, didn't understand that concept or just didn't care because she was a selfish entitled brat! Whatever, if she wanted to be on her own then who was he to care? Sister or not, he wasn't gonna stick his neck out for someone so ungrateful.

A cat leaped at him and Tyto rushed to headbutt it. He felt claws grabbing for the fur on his neck but he flung it at his sister again before he could grab a hold. If she wanted to act tough then she could deal with these vermin. If she tried to claim he was doing it on purpose, he'd deny it. The Praetor boy turned on his heel, back turned to her as he fought off another cat. This time, he didn't wait for it to come to him. Instead, he charged it and knocked it onto the ground where he could stand over it. It kicked with its hind legs, it's back claws raking against his tail as he tucked it to protect his belly. He lunged for its chest, ignoring the stining pain as it batted at his ears and head. The boy nipped and bit at it, pulling tufts of fur before finally, the cat twisted away and darted off.

It seemed the rest of them thought twice about continuing to fight. They backed away from the Male and eventually darted off into the forest but not before shooting angry glares and hisses at him. He had fought most of them, which he was pleased about because it meant he could shove it in her face whenever he could. There was one cat left tangling with his sister though, and he waltzed over to grab it by the scruff and flung it as hard as he could. With a smug look, he turned to her. "Guess that's that. Too bad you didn't fight as many as I did, guess that means I'm better than you." He smirked at her before turning away to head back home. He had a nice big bone waiting for him, and he was eager to get back and gnaw on it.
