Butt of the Joke

What a thrill! Kaija felt her heart racing wildly in her chest as she flung the hyene off her and it hit the ground with a loud, satisfying thud. Oh man was she gonna have a story to tell about this one! Her opponent seemed temporarily stunned and while she had a second she glanced over toward Rœkia, trying to assess the source of the sound - that was when she saw another charging toward something. She made a beeline for the hyena too, hoping the one she'd knocked out might be incapacitated for a moment longer. She was hardly as intent on attacking the thing was the older female was but she nipped at its tail and tugged hard, and then a moment later it writhed free. Her attention turned to the one she'd stunned but it was clambering up and making an attempt to escape. Score! Kaija struggled to catch her breath, grinning proudly at her success - even if it had been mostly Rœkia's. But hey, she'd helped! "We did it! We saved... someone?" She pushed forward a bit to peek into the den and see who exactly they'd saved. "I'm Kaija, by the way!"
