more of an inconvenience than a thread

Xurek steps back, watching as the leopard takes a final go at Uruk. It doesn't take much for the other stallion to kick the leopard in the flank and send it careening back toward him. Had this cat not had enough of them already? Stomping his hooves into the ground, he lowers his head once more, charging forward to shove his tusks toward the leopard. At the last moment, the cat spins away, barely missing being gored once more as its blood sprays in an arc in his direction. The cat seems to be wanting to run off but is once more face to face with Uruk.

"Pathetic," Xurek snorts as he turns his own body away from the feline. He expected higher intelligence from such a predator, but to try and take on two herbivores? Ridiculous. Even the animals cowering in the trees seemed to agree with him. Moving away from Uruk who was most likely finishing off the cat, Xurek approaches a small stream that winds it way between the willows. Rinsing his tusks of the blood, he takes a few deep swallows before lifting his blocky head. "This land is not so bad if it weren't for the predators," he muses, eyes still watching their surroundings in case another one decided to come for them.
