Putrid Pride

The bite from this man was excruciating, and she wagered through gritted teeth if he were a fucking freak of nature. His jaws felt more akin to a weapon than anything natural. They tore into her ruthlessly and drew a heavy amount of blood, but she held back her pained noises with a snort- anger bubbling out from the corners of her lips as she claimed her own piece of his flesh. She would not allow him the satisfaction of hearing her shriek so easily. Her own jaws were brutal in turn, teeth seeking vengeance as they buried deep into his shoulder. She shook her skull with the intent to do more damage, but what she was not prepared for was the loss of strength in her muscles, her hind limbs wavering for but a moment… and a moment was all it took as Rhazien surged forward and threw her balance off.

Fuck. Absinth stumbled backward, her mind flashing with options. One of which she attempted to play out. With her hold on his shoulder Absinth braces for her impact with the ground. Trying to take him down with her at the very least as he was already in the motion of pinning her. The emerald eyed woman released her forelimbs grip on him, seeking to claw and kick viciously against any part of him she could make contact with. But she was coming to a horrible realization. She had not been able to rest yet after the week-long scouting trip, and that had included multiple run-ins with danger as well. She knew she was pushing her physical limits to the extreme, but there was no way in hell she was going to just lie down and take it.
