It was foolish to run into fire and yet that seemed to be this crazed woman's plan right now. Aláwo certainly loved the lands behind her but surely someone couldn't actually be so desperate as to charge towards a clearly agitated and annoyed wolf stood in the path leading towards them. Apparently they could.
The action certainly wouldn't do anything to calm Aláwo's nerves. Though no sign of attack had been given the black female would still take the forward motion as a sign of aggression, a reason to finally stop messing around and do something about this woman. Perhaps it was foolish to be so scared of these Northern wolves, they had given her no reason to fear them so far other than the stories that had been shared around the tribe. Aláwo couldn't help it though, and now she had no choice in her own mind but to protect herself.
Her stance was wide, knees bent to lower her centre of gravity and toes splayed, gripping the earth beneath them and muscles tightening in anticipation. Her tail flicked into position to align with her spine as her shoulders rolled back and hackles rose further as she dipped her chin to protect her throat. Her ears were pinned tightly back against her skull now, eyes narrowed and lips curled back into a snarl, the skin around her features wrinkling and teeth clearly bared now.
The danger drew closer now, drawing up on Aláwo's right. At least the woman didn't seem to be heading right towards her, though sense had left her long ago and she wasn't taking any chances. She was going to attack. Stepping a little to her right, Aláwo moved forwards to try meet Silveris and block her from passing by. Her balance would shift to her back legs as she attempted to wrap her forelegs around Silveris's shoulders, aiming to drive her weight down to try disrupt Silveris's balance.
Aláwo's jaws were significantly less accurate in their attack. Ideally she intended to find somewhere to sink her teeth in on the side left side of Silveris's face, cause some further damage to the already blinded and scarred side, though with her lack of skill and panic taking over she had no specific target in mind and at this rate could likely land anywhere from ear to muzzle, from top of head to the jaw. Whether instinct or common sense, one thing Aláwo did do was keep her own neck tucked to protect her throat.
