More Growl.

The young koi was well aware of the alliance between Ashen and the Armada. So even when he vaguely recognized the man, he knew even more he was a part of the Empire. The massive gator really was just a hunk of muscle and however much Hikaru was failing at striking, he did have the beast’s full attention as Chimera leapt to its back. When the Klein man managed to pierce the monster’s pelt all of Hikaru’s dancing couldn’t keep its attention.

That worked in his favor as the beat struck behind him towards Chimera. Hika hoped the big man moved out of the way but it gave the smaller koi a chance to dart in and try to take his own chunk out of the opposite elbow.
