yuck, muck, and bad luck

With Gilda targeting the close side, Corsair attempted to sneak around to the right. His paws slipped in the viscous mud and while he was able to find a purchase occasionally, more often his gangly limbs were splaying. Pressing against an old bit of branch, Corsair pressed on to try and nip at the wolverine's hip. Urtur didn't seem to be having nearly as much trouble as the kids were, so Corsair attempted to mimic his stance, getting down closer to the ground, spreading his dexterous paws to try and find purchase. A hind paw caught against a buried branch and while it wasn't solid, it was sturdier than the ground around it. It gave Corsair something a bit less slippery to work with bracing one hind paw against it.
