Take a piece of you with me

The pain is his eye was too much, and before he knew it Az was shoved into the ground beneath the man. "Fuck!" He spat, placing a paw heavily over his torn face and snarling into the dirt. "Yeah well you almost took my eye out!" Yeah, he'd started it. The facts didn't matter in this moment, and Az had no intention of explaining now why he'd come and so aggressively assaulted the 'stranger'. Had he won he'd have told Kai it all, he'd have announced to the man that he was there on behalf of Venom and to think twice about ever raising his paw to Ashen again. Now that he'd lost... well, it only would serve to weaken the Empire's reputation further.

Az's leopard slunk forward, placing herself between the man and her wolf and growling a warning to not approach closer. His bat went on ahead, back towards Armada lands to retrieve for Az a healer to take care of his eye on his return home. "Fuck you." Words that weren't profanity were too hard to come up with through the pain in his face. He got to his feet slowly, his eye squinted tight. If Kai jumped him again, Az knew he'd be in poor position to fight back. The yearling started to slowly back up, his lips pulled back to display his fangs in what he hoped was threatening but it was more then likely that the gesture didn't land. He'd just lost, after all. Only once he was sure Kai was not ready to attack did Az turn away from the man to leave, his clouded leopard following behind close afterwards.
