Training but with a stripy twist

Dalila was on high alert as they continued to move through the tropical jungle, making sure Revenant stayed close while her pale gaze scanned the trees and her ears swiveled to listen for any more signs of the big cat. "I saw a tiger stalking through the trees," she replied quietly when Revenant questioned her again about what was going on. At least he seemed to understand that something serious was going on and that he needed to be cautious. Before she could say anything else a rustling ahead of them alerted her and she stopped, watching the tiger in question emerge from the trees and step into their path with a growl. Her ears flicked back and a snarl pulled at her lips in response, immediately getting into a defensive stance with her hackles bristling to make herself look bigger than she was. The tiger obviously thought they were easy targets given the fact that she was on the smaller side for a wolf and he was only a pup so it had no problem stalking and ambushing them.

Her paw gently nudged him behind her, shielding her nephew of sorts from the predator. "Stay behind me and if anything happens run and get help," she insisted firmly without taking her eyes off of the striped predator. She considered calling for Chimera, but before she could the tiger leapt at her and didn't give her a choice but to engage with it. She met it half way just to keep it from getting any closer than necessary to revenant, dodging the initial swing of is large paw and biting down on its ankle as she grabbed the foreleg before it could retract. The big cat yowled and nearly pulled her off of her feet as it tried to pull its ankle from her, bit she bit down harder until it tried to rear up to swipe at her with its other paw. She let go and jumped back out of the way, narrowly avoiding its swing.
