for volcanic

Kirsi was admittedly grateful when the boy followed her command and turned to run, moving behind a section of wall. Whatever he was doing behind it, she couldn't tell, but hopefully he was calming down. Her own attention was on distracting the leopard - even if she didn't take him down completely, she would be alright with that, she just wanted to ensure Volcanic got out in one piece. A threatening snarl ripped from her jaws as she charged head-on at the feline, aiming her parted jaws at its throat. Of course, the feline wouldn't let her win so easily, rearing back as it flexed its claws and dove back at her, all teeth and claws. What she didn't expect was for the boy to jump into the fray, hoping instead he'd turned to run back to wherever his parents might be, but apparently he had other ideas. He dove for the leopards tail and tugged hard on it, and Kirsi continued to snap roughly toward the beast's throat. Apparently the leopard was more distracted by the boy behind it, though, and she felt her chest constrict as he turned to swat roughly at him. Volcanic ducked away, moving to her side and speaking a single question that told her he wasn't about to up and run... no matter how much she tried to convince him. Well, if he wanted to stand and fight, she better make the most of it. Instead of replying in answer, she dove for the cat again, snarling loudly as she dove for the leg opposite of Volcanic, attempting to sink her teeth into the flesh there. The rewarding sensation of blood filled her mouth briefly before the leopard managed to squirm away. With one wolf on the left and another on the right, the fight definitely was swaying in their favor... and then all at once the leopard flinched away, its tail curling between its legs as it turned to hightail it out of there. Volcanic was clearly proud of their feat, letting loose a triumphant howl, and Kirsi found herself grinning - despite the feeling of a deep scratch from the cat on her forelimb, and its blood trickling down her jowls. "You put up a good fight, kid," she chuckled, giving the boy a one-over to make sure he was uninjured. He'd probably be fatigued and bruised for awhile, but nothing that a few days' rest wouldn't fix. "What are you doing all the way out here, anyway? You must not be close to home," she speculated, knowing only one pack laid claim to nearby lands. |
