Nighmare seals

The leopard seal barks in return. Tail slapping against the ice and teeth bared in her direction. Delphi is acutely aware how dangerous the situation is. It's not as dangerous for her as it is for Rhazien. Her tiny size allows her to slide and move about the ice with hardly a care for the thin spots. She doesn't weight nearly as much and has no regard for the possibility that she might slip under. She does see the edge of the ice though. If the seal were to try and get around her, taunt her toward the water that splashed up against the ledge of ice they stand on, it's probably how they get most of their prey.

Still, she continues to distract the beast. Barking in its face, dancing back and forth, paws tapping and body hopping to evade the lashing bites of the seal. Happy to taunt and distract, she sees from the corner of her eye that Rhazien is testing the ice, carefully moving around the seal's line of sight to get closer, and close, and closer... Until the seal is suddenly screeching out of pain and anger. Twisting until both tail and teeth are lunging and slapping at the larger wolf.

Delphi takes her chance. Rushing forward those last few feet, she jumps and bites down on the corner of the flipper which it attaches to the body. A softer area that wasn't so densely made of fat and thick skin. Pulling away with a chunk of fin and meat in her mouth, she spits out to the side as the seal turns back on her. The injured flipper swings out and connects with her legs, knocking her off of her paws. Cursing under her breath as her shoulder slams into the ice, she scrambles out of reach so she can get back on her paws and return to the fight.
