Coran was always inclined the help and didn't think twice about assisting the strange wolf in battle. Lone male lions were dangerous and the sooner they chased the big cat away the sooner Coran could get back to his hunting, perhaps even with the help of the stranger if he were also the hunting sort. The lion's focus was on the other male, leaving its back completely exposed. Coran lunged, his arms wrapping around the lion's waist as his fangs found purchase along its spine, digging a deep hold in the small of its back. The lion roared and twisted around, claws lashing out toward him. It's great paw slammed into his face, cutting into his cheek. The force ripped him from the lion's back but in doing so caused his teeth to elicit far more damage, ripping lacerations down to the bone.
