One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives

He was ecstatic that the man accepted his challenge, though it wouldn't show on his features more than it already had. He'd been prepared for this, though he was aware of the chance he'd be turned down either in favor of Sirius' return or not believing him to be ready. It didn't stop him from preparing though; bracers strapped snugly to his forelimbs and his skull sleeve armor protecting his vitals from harm.

The man spoke and Grimshaw would listen carefully, intent on doing exactly as he had said without his suggestion. He smirked and grabbed the the bottle he assumed to be liquor and downed the liquid with two quick swallows before tossing the pungent bottle away. He wasn't given but another moment to prepare himself for the equally large, but slightly heavier, man to come charging at him but he was ready more than ever to begin despite the foul tast left behind in his mouth. The leopard and the weasel hadn't gone unnoticed by Grimshaw, but he knew that behind the obelisk his own companions would wait and so he kept his focus on the man barreling towards him.

The wolverine was quick on his feet to trail the weasel, snapping after the vermin's tail to yank the smaller animal back and away from the flank it sought. The monkey was much more stealthy, having climbed to the top of the obelisk and watching from above until the right moment to jump. As the leopard came close, the howler monkey would leap with the intention of landing on the felines back and holding on to distract it from its own attack. Azure wasn't the only one with a giant bat, though, and Grimshaw knew this. His own had hung back, hiding on the mountainside near their den until it could catch sight of the other bat. Taking off, the bat hurried over to distract the other bat, intending to chase it around or coerce it into chasing him.

Grimshaw, pleased to be distraction free, held his ground with spread limbs as the man's left shoulder would collide into the center of the chest and knock the wind out of his lungs. It caused him to cough, saliva spraying from between clenched teeth as he growled. The familiar sting of sabers scraped down his neck, though he was blind to most of the pain even as his head dipped downwards with parting jaws. If his flesh snagged into the man's teeth he wouldn't know as he sought to capture the man's massive left paw between his own sharpened teeth and (much smaller) sabers. He doubted Azure would lose his balance and land on his face from his accelerated forward motion should he be successful in grabbing Azure's gigantic paw, but Grimshaw couldn't say that he wouldn't like to see it and that it wasn't his intention!
