Family is Family I guess

Misery ducked just as she went for his scruff, leaving her with a mouthful of the tips of the fur in question. She wanted to stick her tongue out in distaste and drag her sibling to get a bath or something, because surely he didn’t clean as often as he should have. He and Wendigo were probably too busy playing in the mud or lava to have good cleaning habits like she did. Abaddon was flung from the boy’s neck, his long, melanistic body landing on the ground with a thud and he rose up, hood flaring and fangs bared once again as he gave a warning hiss, distinctly displeased with his treatment.

Suddenly, he was ripping himself from her grasp, leaving behind bits of fur stuck between her teeth, and she watched in horror as he went to bite Abigor. He landed, teeth sinking into her companion’s shoulder to which he replied with a pained hiss. The large lizard’s thick tail whipped around to start battering his attacker. Monitor lizards were known to be quite adept at using their tails as defense mechanisms and had even blinded them on multiple occasions. Perhaps he wasn’t aiming to blind him in that moment, but his whip-like tail wapped to and fro, attempting to strike the boy hard enough in the face to make him let go.

Kali released a low growl, launching herself forward with outstretched paws intending to rake her claws across his muzzle, forcing him to release her companion. While she didn’t like him hurting them, she surely wasn’t going to back down from the fight. She loved them dearly as her closest friends, but their relationship was still that of a master and minions. They were there to help her do her bidding and nothing more, and her brother had miscalculated to think she would ever form a further attachment than that.
