Ginger Snap Cat

He had succeeded in striking the big cat, and as soon as he realized the beast's attention was not completely drawn to him, Morax retreated out of reach just in case. Then Eligos called out a couple of names, and he assumed the names of the companions because the pair retreated back down the canyon. With his heart hammering in his chest, seconds felt like painfully slow minutes. He thought that maybe the big cat would give chase, but when it turned towards them, he braced himself to fight. The big cat swiped at them, but Eli had intercepted and whacked it with the impressive set of horns on his head. While the cat was dazed, Morax darted in towards the cat's side, barking and snarling as he tried to get the big cat to think twice about continuing this, and he even added a quick bite against the beast's ribs before skittering out of reach as it bellowed back at him in frustration and pain. Keeping light on his toes, he cast a brief glance at the older male, waiting to see what the plan would be. Were they gonna chase it off? Or were they going to kill it? He had to admit, he would love to take home some teeth as a trophy if he got the chance!
