do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior?

Oh, thank Abraxas! You always come through for me, you do you do! Lore's fear was somewhat assuaged when Asta came charging up beside her. She let out a fast breath, her sides falling and rising quickly. There was strength found in numbers and even greater strength to be found when she stood by her sister's side. "Y-yeah, LOSERS!" Lore shouted, squaring her shoulders and digging her little claws into the dirt for more traction. The coyotes had been focused so much on the carcass that they hadn't anticipated another child rolling up - but Astra was bigger and more imposing than her sister, not to mention the sharpness of her words. They yipped to each other, scattering briefly but then reforming on the other side of the carcass, snarling with renewed anger. Lore glanced back at Asta, the whites of her eyes showing clearly. "Do we chase them off?" she whispered, flicking her eyes back to the coyotes. They didn't back down.
