I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day.

Even at what? 2 seasons old? The kid stood taller than she was and didn't that just rankle Fuji... But she wouldn't take it out on the young girl that was just trying to help her. She would wallow in her self-pity later. The brown and... what would you call that colour? Green? Blue? pup charged in aiming right for the eyes and Fuji had to give her credit. It was an effective strategy, even if she was opening herself up to get her paw broken.

With the badger distracted, she set her sword between steady jaws, her saber fangs providing extra stability as she rounded on the back end of the mustelid (for all the awful smell rolling off it). She aimed a slash towards the delicate tendons of their adversary, red blood falling like rain with the force of her blow (she could have sworn it took more than that to bring down the coyotes).

The badgers back end crumpled and she was quick to drop her sword and latch onto a thigh, attempting to hold the creature back from retaliation to the younger wolf's attack on its front. Sabre fangs sunk deeply into flesh as the small girl chewed back and forth like a viper injecting venom. There was a big artery in the back legs of most animals, and if she were able to find it, it would be curtains for their adversary.

Her muscles were screaming with fatigue, her teeth hurt from the thrashing of the badger when finally muscle gave way and blood flooded her mouth, staining her white markings on her face and down her front. She was sure she must look a real fright, but as the threat was neutralised, growing limp in her jaws, she lessened her hold and used her dexterous paws to help release her dagger like teeth from the mangled flesh where she had taken hold.

Once she was free she stood for a moment, catching her breath with her head hanging between her shoulders and the ground. Adrenaline fled her system, leaving her shaky limbed and gasping for air, her horns had never felt so heavy. There was still a ringing in the back of her ears. She stepped closer to check her saviour over, finally finding her voice again. “Thank you.”, her accent was heavy and the common tongue thick and foreign in her mouth. “I'm Fuji, from Tojo-Kai. Jus' on m'way home. Yer should keep'im. Are yer ok?”

“Speech”
