someone's hogging all the mountains around here

The stranger jumped at her appearance, which in retrospect she should have expected when she ninja'd her way into a fight, and at his sharp movement the tiger sprang for him. Aris scrambled to the side to avoid getting caught in the leap herself, then spun and swiped unsheathed claws at the tiger's face, drawing red-welling lacerations across the tiger's cheek before it drew back. She immediately had to throw herself backwards when the big cat retaliated. One claw caught the sensitive tip of her nose, gauging it and drawing an outraged shout from her. "Damn it, fucking ouch!" That was going to smart for a while. Oh well, a reminder to move fucking faster as she continued to backpedal and circle away from the advancing tiger.
