Askan held on for dear life as the cat shrieked and flailed, doing everything in it's power to try and shake him off. He clamped down so hard his jaw was starting to ache but even that wasn't enough, he was slipping, barely holding onto the loose skin of the back of its neck. He had to readjust his grip, to grab a hold of the throat if he stood any chance of taking the beast down, but he knew that if he let go now the cat wouldn't give him a second chance. He snarled in frustration, wondering what the hell he was supposed to do, when he remembered that he wasn't alone. He'd been about to bark- or rather grumble- an order, to tell them to do something when the cat seized up again and began flailing, kicking out at its second attacker. Nice, this was exactly the opening he'd needed.

Askan let go of the cat for a moment, not even a slither of a second before he chomped down on the cats throat again, this time bearing all of his weight forward as he forced the cat onto it's stomach. With his paws braced against it's shoulders, holding it in place he ripped and tore into the beast, the taste of blood thick on his tongue, almost intoxicating. He glanced up for a moment, his yellow gaze bright, almost manic, as he caught sight of his not so little helper. She'd been kicked back after making a right mess of the cats leg, but seemed no worse for wear.

The same couldn't be said for the cat. He felt sorry for it, almost. It was savaged, torn open and was bleeding profusely onto the forest floor but not dead yet.

"What should I do?" He asked the stranger, sides heaving, his voice rough and hoarse.

The cat would likely die either way, but he was curious as to what the stranger thought of this whole situation. It seemed, from his perspective at least, that she'd fought the cat in self defence, not because she'd intended to give Askan a helping paw. Not that he would have asked for it anyway, but she'd done her part so he supposed she deserved a say in the matter.
