at least it isn't spooky

A crackle of underbrush momentarily distracted both Eligos and his opponent, and Eligos was able to throw a swift glance to see a young wolf there, hackles up and snarling. The jaguar seemed to do a mental calculation, as though trying to decide if it was worth continuing the fight when outnumbered, but the other wolf's youth and the fact that she hadn't engaged seemed to satisfy the beast that it had time to finish off Eligos. Eligos objected, strenuously. He pressed the cat with an attack of his own, maneuvering it so the jaguar's back was to the stranger in the hopes that she would attack.
