This town's not big enough for the two of us

As soon as Art glanced back at her with that signature fiery glance she knew they would be choosing the fight instead of flight option. She smirked and fixed her gaze on the tiger as it stalked them through the trees. She loved how they knew each other so well that they could communicate without a word. Her ear flicked back toward him at the subtle but familiar sound of him drawing Embershard to ready for the fight or to at least scare the tiger off. She waited till he squared off with the tiger and she saw the feline's eyes fix on him as it continued to draw closer. Once she was no longer the focus she began to sink back, ducking behind one of the trees so that she could creep around until she was facing the tiger's hip.

She waited, coiled and ready until the moment that she saw the tiger about to leap toward Artorias. She charged forward then, keeping her head low and jabbing her antlers toward the tiger's thigh, piercing the vibrant, striped pelt and making the big cat give a roaring yeowl of pain. She quickly pulled back and jumped out of the way before it could round on her with a swipe of its giant paw. It ended up sending her splashing through one of the streams and splattered mud up her legs, but that was better than getting tiger claws to the chest.
