Who's laughing now?

Dalila turned to face the hyenas she saw through the trees, her ears flicking uneasily as she shifted closer to Albion's side, a snarl pulling at her lips. "Stay close," she told the boy at her side, shifting into a defensive position as well. It felt like predators were even more active and bold than usual these days and she wasn't sure why. The pack of hyenas started filtering out of the trees toward them with yapping, laughing barks, starting to circle around them and clearly looking for some kind of opening. One of them that seemed extra bold or was maybe some kind of leader of some kind jumped forward first.

It targeted Albion, but she leapt forward in front of Albion to block it. She caught the hyena by its scruff, stopping it in its tracks before yanking hard to pull it to the ground. She gave a hard shake before she tossed it back toward the trees, making it roll across the ground a couple of times before it managed to scramble back to its paws. While she was doing that another one from the gaggle of loud predators tried to jump on her, biting at her neck and shoulder.
