Low Life

While Caedes focused on the wound he had initially inflicted in the bear’s neck, Kaino sought to create another opening, and while his attention was completely consumed by his own struggle to control the beast’s movements, he was all too aware of the bear’s vocal displeasure at her new target. Still he barrelled in, snapping, piercing the flesh and then dodging back out to avoid those huge claws. The bear would begin to stumble, and he knew instantly she must have ruined it’s mobility.

Seeing an opportunity to assist his cousin, Caedes rushed to maintain a grip on the bear, using his massive weight and size to his advantage. With calculated movements, he leaned into the struggle, adding his strength to Kaino's efforts, helping to bring the bear down to its knees.

As the bear fell and kicked in a desperate attempt to dislodge its tenacious assailants, Caedes' bulk bolstered her efforts by exhausting it, and as his fangs sank deeper and deeper into the thick hide until he was rewarded by a spout of blood that signaled he’d reached a depth of a mortal wound. He would release his hold, watching in tandem with his cousin as the bear carried out its ever weakening tantrum. Finally he could give his almost full attention to Kaino, and he proceeded to push his snout into the space between her nape and shoulders. “The honors, won’t you, Kai?” The brute grinned, and the amusement of it all reached his cold emerald orbs. He reckoned it would die either way in a matter of minutes.
