This Thread Is Going To The Dogs

With another of the beasts taken out of the fight when Maeva slashed it's eye, Eligos turned his attention to the dog he'd sent tumbling, only for it to scramble to its paws and take off in the direction others of its pack had fled. Cypher and Kida had the final wild dog down on the ground now, squealing as they mauled it like a squeaky toy, until a lucky crunching snap from Kida ended its squealing and it went limp. He ignored them as they continued to quarrel over the limp form to step back to the dog who was trying to drag itself away despite a broken back. He watched it struggle for a moment, eyes narrowed, until he finally took the final step close enough to give the creature mercy. "Cypher. Kida." Blood ran down his throat and chest from his jaws, but he turned a glance back to the pup, as the two malinois left off their messy play and returned to him attentively. The girl was bleeding, but not in a way that seemed to him to be debilitating. With two of their number dead and another two badly injured, the wild dogs would not be returning to trouble her further. Therefore, he had accomplished what he had set out to do, and inclining his head towards the girl in farewell, he returned to his path. She was welcome to her rotting-deer feast - he had to be on his way.
