Verdant Veil

Citadel, despite being in numerous fights, was yet to learn anything about how fragile a pup could be. He was grinning with excitement as the tiger made a play, swiping for the panther of the unfamiliar pup. It seemed the perfect moment to him.

While the enemy cat was distracted, he leaped forward, aiming down its side before turning suddenly, and extending his claws. He swiped them at the side of the orange creature, near its shoulders. He lowered his head, prepared to take any retaliating swipes on the crystal nubs still in the growing phase on his forehead.

At that same moment, his bear came crashing out of the woods, clearly having followed him. A little older, and a little taller for the moment, it ran towards the back of the tiger. Extending his arms, Rook grabbed the cat by his back hips, and physically dragged it back from the puppies.
