What a fine mess this is

Nimue was an odd nutter, that was for sure. She was taciturn and cryptic, acting like she was always looking for a fight. Did she really not have anything better to do? She made a retort about getting bit again, but Rogue just shrugged it off with another scoff. She really was trying to push his buttons today, wasn't she? Nimue made a strange comment about maybe or maybe not wanting to cut herself on his quills again and that got the dire brute to raise a questioning brow at her. What the actual fuck was wrong with this chick? That creepy smile just painted her like a psychopath—which, maybe she actually was—and she challenged him back that she could take whatever he dished out at her. Okay, yeah, she was looking for a fight. She was trying to provoke a response out of him, trying to get him to engage her. And the worst part? It was working.

Rogue gave an irritated snort when she blatantly ignored his question of why she was still here. Of course she'd avoid answering even with snarkiness the one question that really mattered. Their amethyst eyes held, ferocity in both their gazes—and then Nimue was lunging for him. She moved so fast, honing in on him like a missile. Rogue had been wholly unprepared for the sudden attack and barely had enough time to get back to his paws before she was upon him with claws and jaws going for his neck. In the next instant, those tiny teeth like hypodermic needles were biting at the side of his neck, stinging at his skin. Rogue winced and growled in response to the pain, but the giant brute powered on through, now up on his paws and prepared to retaliate.

With Nimue hanging onto him as she goaded him on, he had the advantage of size and strength in close quarters. Rather than try to pull Nimue off of him, he instead sought to grasp her by the back of the neck with his sharp claws and large paw, seeking to hold her tight and keep her from pulling away as he surged forward into the lake, massive form leaping into the water. He was hoping to bring Nimue down with him so he'd land atop of her and pin her down beneath the water—not intending to drown her, but to definitely put the fear that he might into her.
