Woops. Unexpected visitors

Andy and Dusk had both made successful attacks and what had Thorn done?  Backed away to avoid getting bit?  That wouldn’t do.  Wooden swords were fun but right now Thorn needed to do damage and the thing he made wouldn’t.  His hyena had glanced up to peer at Andy’s fight with a moment's interest.  Thorn wasn’t even good enough to watch now?  No, that had to change.

Thorn charged the distracted hyena, deciding on his target.  The creature had one paw partially raised, a motion unfinished and Thorn aimed for that.  Thorn bit the paw, those small serrated teeth and strong jaws doing what damage they could in his small body.  It was enough to get the hyena to shriek in surprised pain.  Thorn let go just in time to not get flung aside but had to do a rather undignified scramble to avoid the angry hyena’s teeth that came after him.
Making it mad meant he did hurt it though, right?
