Keep moving

Psalm wasn't totally oblivious, but maybe spending all her time locked away in her den for as long as she had, had dulled her senses. The sound and scent of the bear reached Psalm only a little bit before the call from the stranger did. Startled Psalm jolted awkwardly to her paws, head turning to spot the two animals rushing towards her. She had enough time for her mouth to form into a little "oh" before the white and gold stranger intercepted the swipe meant for her. Psalm's eyes grew wide as the reality of the situation finally seemed to roll over her. "Oh- I- I'm so-" She stammered, voice hitching into panic but it seemed at least one of them had managed to keep his head and the stranger was already scruffing her and pushing her further out of the way of the massive bear. "I'm sorry!" Psalm finally managed, stumbling as she tried to move with him. She wanted the earth to swallow her up right then and there, this stranger had gotten hurt... All because of her! But even she knew that her feelings of guilt would have to wait. Managing to get her paws under herself the young woman fixed her gaze on the bear. She was hardly a fighter, but she did know a decent amount about hunting, and how different could they really be. It seemed at least the bear wasn't going to back down. It seemed to be recovering from the pain in its paw, pulling a cluster of small crystalline spikes from its paw pads and turning beady eyes on the pair of wolves. "I can distract it!" Psalm said, not even really waiting for the other wolf to respond before she was moving, circling around the bear who tracked her with its head. Psalm was quick, she knew how to move and when it was safe to dart into to slow a creature, she probably didn't have the strength to really do much damage but if she could keep the beast's attention on herself, maybe even chasing after her then the other wolf would have an opportunity to do something. Even if it was just getting a clean escape, she probably owed him that much for taking that hit for her... "Speech" |
