Again? Really?

Fortunately for them both the bear lurched forward in surprise at Caelia's sudden attack. Well, it was mostly a good thing. For a moment its focus left Ardyn and moved toward her, and she hoped the split attention would give them both time to strike in turn. She winced as she felt the bear's paw swing around and smack her side, and she took the opportunity to release her hold on him and fall back to solid ground while Ardyn struck. He had the advantage of his strange claws as he went after the bear's face, hopefully accomplishing something - Caelia couldn't see from her position.

The distraction was successful and allowed her to get her bearings and strike again. Jaws parted as she moved in from the side, aiming a precise bite to the side of the beast's throat. She was perpendicular to him and in a much more precarious position now but she had to hope the bear wouldn't redirect its focus entirely toward her. If so she was poised on the pads of her paws and prepared to spring away as quickly as she'd arrived, as long as she was able to.
