Be Prepared [Cairo]

Domari’s leap coincided with the moment the lion pushed off in its own leap and managed to knock Cairo over, rolling him backward and belly up under a momentarily triumphant cat. The splotched Adravendi let out a yelp of “Shit!" before Domari saved his skin by landing on the lion’s back and grappling him.

As the lion gave Domari its attention, Cairo launched himself upward with a monumental effort, jaws opening and slamming shut over the cat’s windpipe, eliciting a muffled ‘gurk’ of surprise from the cat before Cairo quickly readjusted and got a better bite on the cat, letting his weight hang and sink his teeth into the throat. He thrashed slightly as soon as he felt his teeth break through, reaching up with his paws a final time and flexing it toes to latch the bear claws into the cat’s shoulders and drag it down.

And then quite suddenly, he had all the cat’s weight on him as the lion gave out. It took a little effort to disengage his jaws, and way more to squirm free of a limp lion. With a final kick, he heaved free and stood on legs that were suddenly shaky from the adrenaline, before he remembered himself and looked in all directions for anything else that wanted to come out and be a dick today.

“You okay, Dom?”
