Cat Scat!

Nami could only hope the damage the leopard was doing to the child was superficial at best, though she knew how dangerous an angry feline could be, especially to a young wolf. If she got out of this without any bad injuries she'd be quite lucky, and Nami wasn't even considering what sort of injuries she herself might end up with. The leopard slashed a paw at her, hitting her square in the chest. The bob-tailed wolf winced but held her ground anyway. Later she'd get a better look at her injuries and tend to them, but right now she was intent on protecting Brida from this predator.

The cat moved to swipe at Brida, though the girl seemed to have other plans, not about to back down either. She charged into it, tearing into its shoulders with her saber teeth for a moment. The plan Brida suggested seemed like a good one and Nami reacted quickly. Driving it to the water would mean their victory. The tides of the river were far too strong for the feline to fight against, at least at this time of year. Putting pressure on the leopard too she lunged for it, feeling the telltale sign of blood trickling through her fur from the wounds on her chest, but ignoring them for now as best as she could. A snarl ripped from her throat as the leopard made to swipe at her again, though it made a few unsteady steps backward, just as expected - only a few feet from the river's edge now.
