His posturing seemed to be working well enough to keep the feline from attacking outright, but he could see in its yellow eyes it wasn't deterred in the slightest. He took a step forward, and it did the same, but before Astrophel could do anything else a large form suddenly ran right into the panther. Both creatures went sprawling, and he was caught off guard enough that his jaw dropped open in surprise for the time it took the panther to get back onto its paws. It swiped a clawed paw at the other wolf's shoulder, and at the scent of blood Astrophel snapped back to his senses. He advanced on the panther from the side, wanting to flank it while it was now distracted by the other larger wolf. His lumbering form launched at the panther, front legs outstretched to grab around its hind legs so his jaws could snap at the softer flesh on the nape of its neck. He didn't want to risk going straight for its throat or face and get a sharp set of claws to the eyes, but the panther's jaws were a more acceptable risk to take as the teeth weren't nearly as sharp as the claws. Astrophel's blunt claws dug in a little sloppily around the panther's hind leg, but he could taste blood in his mouth from where he had connected with the flesh near its neck, and was willing to hold on long enough for the other wolf to get another strike in. |
