TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

Frino's ears twitched a little as his Sol began to speak, tilting his head a little as he looked in the female's direction, gaze focusing on hers. It was a pretty impressive thing for him that he kept his eyes locked on her form instead of allowing them to wander, to dance across Aria and the others. As tempting as it was, he controlled himself, tail curling a little as he committed his Sol's words to memory. His head dipped slightly as she spoke, a nonverbal acceptance of the plan that she had spoken. That was easy enough to remember. Don't travel alone; if there should be a fight, clear out the north and southwest. Nothing too complicated. Even Frino could handle that.
And then, a bark came. A warning. Ears flicked and the male turned towards the source of the sound, padding forward a few steps to find his gaze settling on Luana as she raced away. Cougars. Damn it all. This was going to end badly. A shiver danced up Frino's spine even as Marvel turned towards the male, barking out an order at Frino to go. Damn. This wasn't going to end well. Cougars could easily take out this dainty little male, and yet, for the first time in living memory, he felt almost . . . protective.
This was a first. Still, if he got any scars, he was going to be pissed. Then again, it would land him under Marvel's care for a little while... So it couldn't be that bad.
The thought of being taken care of by the white male gave Frino the energy to leap forward, teeth bared in a vicious snarl as he launched himself forward. Claws dug into the earth to push him forward as Aria spoke. His ears flicked in her direction, but he paid her little mind as he flung himself forward, racing towards the source of the bark.
Everyone had already told the pups to get out, so he flicked his ears, casting a quick glance their way before turning his attention elsewhere. They would leave or they wouldn't. It was not his problem.
Pacing forward at a slightly slower pace, Frino examined the battle scene swiftly. Marvel had launched himself at the larger creature, while Luana aimed for the smaller one. Now, Marvel would likely need the most help, which meant that Frino was going to have to help with the bigger one. Aria didn't seem to have joined the general fray as of yet, so that left him.
But Marvel was jumping at the cat, leaving little room for Frino to get involved without causing more trouble. And besides, one look at those nasty claws assured Frino that he didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. So he padded, aiming to move in a slow circle around feline and wolves, coming to a stop behind the feline. How this panned out would determine his next move, but Frino was already crouching down, claws digging into the soil as he locked his gaze upon the cougar, ready for action the second that Marvel and the feline had landed and he could get involved without causing more damage than he would inflict.
Ears swivelled wildly as they tried to pick up everything, and Frino shifted his weight a little, ready for action. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to do much, but a minor injury that got him some care from Marvel wouldn't be too bad... It was only if it left scars that Frino would be cranky.
