Recluse appeared in the crowd like a mists after the storm. Friar was back watching Hanako and the pups- she hoped- and so Sparrow could focus her attention to the woman in front of her. "Indeed," she replied with a wry smile. "Let us dance."

Recluse was already charging at her, and Sparrow followed her lead, kicking off as well. The woman grabbed the upper part of her foreleg and pulled back. Resistance wasn't the greatest option, so Sparrow pushed into it, seeking to overpower the other woman, to turn her pulling momentum against her, just as one leads and dance and one follows. One pushes and one pulls. At the same time, Sparrow sought to seize Recluse's scruff. She was a good deal larger than Hanako, and Sparrow was fairly sure she couldn't carry Recluse around, but if she got a good grip on the scruff, she could do a lot of maneuvering without harming the woman. Rough, but not painful- just like she liked it.

"Speech" Ichor was pumped! He was aware of the last raid that Habari had been in but he'd been way too young to fight and this time he wasn't going to miss it if he could help it. The tiny boy bound his way down the volcano, so many of the attackers were already engaged and he slid his gaze over the remaining attackers, tiny ripper smile pulling at his lips as he spotted an older woman, taller than himself, but most wolves were and he flung himself down the mountain side his gaze clearly locked on her. Ichor would let lose a feral whoop as he sought to quickly rush into the older woman, he was small he knew the biggest thing he needed to account for was how easy it would be to scruff him so he had to try and be quick on his toes. Ichor would keep himself low to the ground, trying to force the woman to reach for him if she wanted to grab him, his jaw was parted and the boy was aiming to wrap his serrated teeth around the woman's ankles, hoping that if he got to sink his teeth in even if she tried to remove him that the edges of his teeth would do some serious damage.

His attacks missed, and Ignis snarled in rage as he felt the rise of frustration. Usually, he was more...aggressive in his attacks and fighting in general. But he had been abandoned by the beast inside that usually took over during times like these. Plus the last couple of weeks with everything between him and Eden and all that transpired remained at the forefront of his mind, and apparently, he was having trouble focusing on the fight.

With another snarl, he pivoted his hips away from Eraithus as the blue male tried to line their bodies up (and Ignis brought them to a sort of T position). But not before feeling the other male's antlered chest piece piercing his skin, leaving behind a cut on his flank that would bleed. His fur was slick with blood from both the first bite and the wound from the weapon, painting his fur a deeper crimson. From above, he heard the flapping of wings as his opponent's bird came at him, but before the bird could reach, Ignis' palm cockatoo would intercept as it aimed to knock Kespie out of the air. Crimson gaze snapped back to Eraithus just in time to see those fangs coming for him once again.

"I knew you couldn't do it without me!" His mind snapped. His eyes widened for a split moment when he heard him. Where the hell have you been!? Ignis snapped back in his head. "Not your concern, wolf! Focus! I'm going to finish this."

In split seconds, Ignis snapped back to reality. A wild light in his eye and a vicious snarl erupted from his throat. Hind legs coiled for a moment before he sprung, his upper body raised as he aimed to slam his chest and weight into Eraithus' neck and shoulders in an effort to strain his muscles and unbalance him (and hopefully, knock him to the ground). Forelegs sought to wrap up his opponent's neck, jaws flung open, spit flying from his muzzle as he aimed to sink his teeth into the side of Eraithus' head. At this moment, the crimson demon was not holding back. He now sought to tear apart anyone in his path!

"Ignis"||"Blödhgarm"

Fights started to break out left and right, and still nobody had come for him. He harrumphed with disappointment the further into the territory he went, his hawk companions keeping an eye on things above. He picked up a charcoal black rock, bouncing it in his paw for a moment as he wondered if this was one of those so-called lava rocks. "Kinda disappointing if you ask me!" He commented, and then he heard a warning screech from above and he turned his attention to a much smaller, grey girl coming towards him. Man she was small huh? And the little deer that ran with her was even smaller! Was this a joke?

He shrugged his shoulders and waited until she got closer, and when she got within earshot he couldn't help but shout "How ya doin' there small fry!?" And ended it with a haughty laugh before he felt a sharp poke on his rear heel. He had been more preoccupied at the sight of the small antlered girl that he forgot about the little thing that had circled around. "You little dick!" He exclaimed, but he didn't have to say much more before his female hawk came swooping down, talons extended as she aimed straight for the little beast!

Meanwhile, as Aryn came upon him, Ares half-jumped to his left, his opponent's little antlers just barely missing his foreleg. In a well-practiced motion, Ares' head lowered and swooped towards Aryn, teeth seeking her scruff as he sought to grab and scoop her off the ground much like his hawk was about to try to do to her companion!

To be honest, Recluse would have been okay with more roughing up. The woman certainly wasn't averse to it at least. Her fangs wrapped around the pirate king's foreleg and she couldn't help a little chuckle of triumph. It seemed that Sparrow had decided pulling away was a bad decision and instead she pushed in towards Recluse who suddenly got more foreleg shoved into the back of her mouth than she'd bargained for. The movement was quick enough and unexpected enough that she was forced to back peddle or be bowled over. It left her scruff wide open for Sparrow to grab which she did. Releasing the other woman's leg Recluse continued to try and backpedal further, letting the momentum of the bigger wolf now gripping the back of her neck pull her back and up slightly, where she'd take the chance to lash out with her claw covers, hoping to scrape them across the other woman's chest. Certainly, she could have done more herself but she wasn't exactly eager to go for a fatal blow, her pride wounded a bit maybe by being scruffed like a pup but hey, she liked Sparrow and that tempered her rage a bit, besides she knew well enough that even her flailing could draw blood if the Pirate King wasn't careful.

Habari hadn't been given any warning about this raid, but then again it was entirely likely that word had passed through and Veigar simply hadn't been paying attention. He'd been relatively reclusive these days, avoiding regular contact with others - at least to the best of his ability - as his sight deteriorated further and further. What he'd once hoped was something temporary now he had no doubt was a permanent issue. Maybe he should've sought out help for it before, from one of the pack's healers, but deep down he knew whatever affliction he was suffering from could not be cured. It felt more like a curse than an illness, and he knew in his heart there was no cure.

Today though he had to do his best to forget about his failing vision and focus on the impending attack. By the time he made his way across the territory, quite a few of his packmates had already arrived, beginning to square off with the wolves that had appeared at their borders. It took an embarrassingly long time for his eyes to struggle to focus, finding it difficult to see beyond vague shapes and blurs now. One of the brightest wolves, Hyacinth, caught his attention and he didn't hesitate to charge the stranger once he zeroed in on them. There was little in the way of defense in his posture as he charged, jaw unhinged and teeth bared, all rage and fury as he barrelled straight toward Hyacinth and aimed to throw his limbs around the much taller male's neck.

It was probably good for the young wolf charging at Hyacinth that he wasn't totally sober yet. Not going blind like the young man was but a little bit disoriented. He had gotten himself turned around in the flurry of fights and wasn't really sure what he was even supposed to be looking for again, lava? Was it lava? Hyacinth let out an audible oof as suddenly limbs were flung around his neck and he stared down at the smaller wolf for a moment, dumbfounded. Then his mind caught up to him. Hyacinth remembered they were in a raid, he was probably supposed to fight this younger man!

Hyacinth, reared back, hoping to break himself free from the other wolf's hug but if not probably taking him with him as Hyacinth lifted onto his hindlegs, forelimbs lashing out with little rhyme or reason. To be honest the man didn't exactly have a strategy he was hoping to push his attacker off with his flailing but it was just as likely he'd scrape his dulled claws along the younger wolf's chest or underbelly, though it was unlikely to be too serious as his movements were more about freeing himself than doing harm to his attacker.

The man's taunt only deepened her nervousness, and Aryn was forced to steel herself against the desire to concede right then and there. She wasn't that small, was she? From behind Ares she saw the bird swoop down, talons extended and enclosing around her little Dik-Dik. The deer flailed beneath the claws, kicking and bucking and doing his best to stay grounded. Whatever the result, Aryn knew he'd be no more use to her in this fight.

The man towered over her, and before she could realize what was happening she felt his teeth begin to enclose upon her scruff. Like an unruly pup! Aryn was shocked by the audacity of it, and just like a tantruming child might, began to flail her body to force him to release her.

She jerked her head up and backwards, aiming to stab her horns into him where he had leaned down to grab her. There was little else she could do, her scruff controlled, her companion incapacitated... but Aryn still had her rock. It was still tucked within the small bag upon her wrist where she could access it, the way Ignis held her scruff would make it too difficult to lean down and retrieve it. As a last ditch effort, Aryn simply swung that foreleg in towards Ignis and prayed that the blunt impact would hurt him more then it would hurt her.

Ha! He had gotten hold of her scruff and proceeded to yank her feet off the ground and dangle her in the air! But not without getting poked by her stupid little horns! He growled an "ow" through his teeth and her fur, but even with that, he didn't drop her. This little girl was irritating! Okay, maybe she wasn't a little girl, but he considered her one because she was smaller than him, and that was justification enough. She flailed in his jaws and he laughed. Okay, this was too funny! A full-grown woman flailing around like a pup would, trying to get him to let her go! Priceless!

But then her forearm came swinging while he was busy trying to keep himself together, and next thing he knew, whack! He had been hit with something hard! He recoiled from the impact and was also stunned (from surprise more than anything), and when he flinched, he only tightened his grip on her (also because he swore his sabers were tangled into her fur or something and he was having difficulty letting go even if he wanted to), so he did what anyone in his and her position would do. He shook her around like he had a toy in his mouth. And by shook her around, he really shook her around! She had just hit him with a rock! didn't she know she could've given him a concussion or chipped one of his teeth!? Well, now he was going to give her a headache (and probably end up wounding her scruff even more) but hey, all is fair in love and war, right?

Somewhere out of the corner of his vision he swore he saw Aryn brawling with someone, but it was hard to say for sure. Either way he was glad she was home where she ought to be even if he wasn't sure she was cut out to be a fighter. Or maybe he was just a little too protective of a woman who'd practically helped raise him. Regardless it only made him attack with more fervor, eager to get this opponent out of the way to try to see what all was going on with the rest of his pack if nothing else.

Though his attack was successful, his limbs only found purchase for a second before he felt the larger wolf begin to lift up. He could only reach so tall before he was forced to scramble back down to the ground and regain his composure. He felt the paws scraping along his chest but he used the split second before Hyacinth came crashing back down to aim straight for his chest - initially likely ramming his nose into the fur there, grossly miscalculating how far he was from contact. Though with little hesitation his jaws parted and aimed to grab hold of whatever flesh he could manage to grab, and if he found hold he'd give his head a firm shake.

Pyralis pivoted, defenses set as she heard Alkali's call. Rather than a giant warrior she was attacked by a tiny yearling. "Ahhh, so cute!" She crowed as the boy rushed her. It had been awhile since she'd battled such a small opponent. He dove for her left leg which she quickly raised and attempted to counter with, her left forepaw shooting forward as she tried to kick the boy in the forehead and push the blades of her bracer right across the top of his head. Alkali remained in the sky, circling and keeping watch while her potoo companion swooped down and tried to latch onto the smaller boy's tail.

The smaller wolf dropped from his neck and Hyacinth felt his paws scrape against his opponent's chest ineffectually. He landed back on all fours with another grunt, he was really only partially aware of even his own movements so even just dropping down was like a hit he was taking, the wind being pushed from his lungs. Hyacinth ducked his head for a moment and merely moments after he'd lifted it again to try and slide his attention back to his attacker said young man was already pushing his way into Hyacinth's chest, nose bumping him there before he felt teeth digging in and the pain of rending flesh as the young man shook his head.

"Ah! Ow!" Hyacinth exclaimed. Instinct was kicking in and Hyacinth reached down to try and scruff the smaller wolf, jaws parting. He lashed out again with his forepaw but this time he was hoping to knock one of the yearling's legs out from under him, destabilize him. If he was lucky he'd land his grab and be able to haul the yearling off of him!

"Speech" Ichor didn't even have time to process that his fangs snapped shut on empty air, because before he even realized he'd missed he was being shoved backward, the paw he'd been aiming for nailing him square in the head and something sharp slicing at the skin of his crown. Instead of fighting against the backward momentum, the small yealing allowed himself to move backwards, moving with the shove which allowed him to move backwards quite quickly, quickly enough that by the time he'd noticed the bird (very similar to the one circling above his mother right now) dive bombing him he was already moving out of its range. The small boy flashed the woman a very toothy grin as he launched himself back at her, this time he wouldn't simply charge her, instead, he leapt at the woman, aiming to fling himself at the same leg but this time, he was hoping to actually push himself off her left leg, push himself up higher, almost attempting to scale her to try and get a hold of her left shoulder. He certainly didn't have the height to throw his weight around but he'd long since learned that he could use his size to his advantage if he could prove himself more mobile than his bigger opponents.

Sparrow pressed her leg forward into Recluse’s maw, working as if begging her to gag on a piece of her- to drown in her- as she would be doing later in the evening. Recluse conceded and relinquished her grasp on Sparriow’s leg as Sparrow seized the pale woman’s scruff- also as she planned to do later in the evening.

The woman lashed out, scraping into Sparrow’s chest and Sparrow pressed into it, just a little, releasing Recluse’s scruff to make pointed eye contact with her, ”Ohh,” she chuckled, “I see you brought toys.”

There wasn’t much space for conversation as Sparrow flared her leg claw raptor things- whatever they were- and sought to wrap her forelegs around Recluse’s upper body and bring her into a very pointed bear hug, hoping to make her tap out when she squeezed hard enough.

Pyralis grinned as she clocked the boy in the head, managing to draw blood from him. The potoo missed and was unable to pull up in time, it crashed right into the ground in a mess of dust and feathers. Pyr was focused on the boy, however, for he didn't seem to bothered by the injury and instead sprung up and shot her a grin. She had to hand it to him, he had pluck! The wolves of Habari, of all sizes, were proving themselves resilient warriors.

He darted forward for her left foreleg. Pyralis attempted to shift to her right but she simply wasn't as fast as the youth. She managed to get out of his way but not before his fangs cut the flesh of her left shoulder. Pyr's head lunged down, trying to snag the back of the boys neck, hoping to get hold before he secured himself back on the ground.
