Cat Got Your Tongue?

At the very least it seemed like she had gotten here before Strix got hurt. He was no worse for wear besides some sand stuck to him and some disheveled fur. She breathed a sigh of relief and was already beginning to turn back toward the lion when the boy told her to look out. She flinched back out of the way as the lion struck at her again, a couple of its claws just barely grazing the front curve of her shoulder. She staggered back a bit with a growl and about that time Strix ran in, making a mighty nuisance of himself and annoying the already aggravated lion. At the very least it did distract the large cat as it attempted to swing at the small, fast moving target and that allowed her to lunge forward and bite deep into its shoulder with just enough time to jump out of the way again before it could land a blow on her in return. The big cat took a couple steps back from them with another pained roar and as it was regrouping itself this time, glancing at the bleeding wound on its shoulder, Dalila could tell that it was starting to reevaluate its decision to be here very heavily.
