I promise I won't budge

The panther writhed in his grip, snapping its head from side to side to try and bite him and pry him off, but his heavier weight and larger size kept the two of them anchored on the ground. Luckily, it didn't think to try and roll out from under him, as his foreleg grip on it was shady at best with his blunt claws. He felt teeth graze at the softer flesh of his shoulder, but refused to let go. What was likely only a few moments passed, which felt much longer than that, before the other wolf pushed up against the front end of the panther, and together the two wolves pinned it between them. He felt bad, having left the stranger to deal with the decidedly more dangerous end of the predator, but he could apologise later. The panther let out a series of yowls and shrieks, but Astrophel couldn't see much of what was happening from where he had latched onto the back of its neck. He was hesitant to let it go in case it squirmed out of his grip and was able to slip away, so he simply held on as tightly as he could. When the panther let out an ear-piercing shriek and shuddered beneath him he loosened his grip just enough to peer around its thrashing head, spotting the jaws of the other wolf firmly clamped around the delicate flesh of its throat. He waited, still hanging on, as the panther's movements became less ferocious, until finally it stilled beneath him, and only then did he slowly unlatch his jaws and uncurl his front legs. His breath came out in short pants as he stared at the now still form of the panther, before turning his gaze to the stranger that had risked their own life to help save him. "Thank you for helping me, I owe you one." |
