Looney Lion
Usagi

The koi wolf allowed his jaws to pry free from the beasts’s leg as Balthier gave a final bite of its shoulder. The lion seemed to have finally gotten the message into its thick skull that these wolves were not fit prey. The animal brayed in pain, rumbling as it began to retreat. Usagi’s hackles raised as his pent-up rage ebbed and flowed, his lips peeled into an enraged snarl at the animal that had chosen to pick a fight with them. It took a few moments as the lion paused to glance and he and Balthier, and upon finding they weren’t worth a fight anymore, the creature miserably hobbled off, barely able to move its gashed shoulder and wounded leg. Usagi caught his breath, taking in a deep inhale and soft exhale as he closed his eyes for a few seconds. Back in his homeland, he was drilled to maintain a proper breathing pattern, regardless of how intense a fight got. It’d ensure he got enough oxygen into his body, thus increasing his stamina. After a few moments of standing and recovering, he glanced at his partner for the brawl. The man didn’t seem too worse for wear, despite them both facing off an animal many times larger than them. "You fight well," He said simply. He wasn’t one to praise heavily, or even give praise at all. He was a very restriced individual in that regard. But Balthier had helped immensly. As much as he hated to admit, he would’ve been dead meat if he faced such an animal alone. |
