You Talkin' To Me?

Though she'd never been the reckless time, always one to sit back and wait with calculated action, Caelia knew life didn't always give you as much freedom to assess a situation before reacting. Hesitating too long could cost someone their meal, or - worse case scenario - their life. Watching a yearling die wasn't exactly something she'd enjoy, not when her friend's death was still painfully fresh in her mind. She reacted quickly, lunging onto the lioness's back and struggling to hold on as if her life depended upon it.

The feline spinning caused her to lose her balance, but she'd attempt to use her slight size to a advantage, ducking in and nipping at the lioness's forepaws, figuring distraction was as good as any real attack while Chimera went for the base of her tail. At the verbal cue she spun out of the way, nearly losing her own balance in the process, though she regained it after a moment of rebalancing. Swiveling behind the lioness now, she came tumbling down and Caelia dove toward one of her hind flanks, hoping to grab hold of the tender flesh that connected her hind leg to her stomach.
