Tail whip, struggle

Fortunately the feline managed to dodge the bear's paws, stepping to the side swiftly. Of course its attention didn't stay on Birna for long when Bronze struck, teeth digging sharply down into the beast's leg, at least momentarily. He didn't have much time to react though before the bear thrashed hard to its side, wheeling around to face him when Bronze released his grip. Whatever Birna was doing was helping, but not quite enough, though the scent of blood struck him suddenly. Hopefully that meant the bear was at least beginning to falter. Birna circled behind them, the bear wheeling around in a wide arc as it tried to decide which predator to focus on. Apparently it chose Bronze at first, because before he could wheel away he felt the beast's paw come slapping the side of his head, causing him to lose his balance and go stumbling. The stinging wounds of where his paw had collided immediately begin to throb as he struggled to pull himself upright, charging back in for another bite as it turned sharply toward Birna for another attack.
