Ouroboros Spine [Moose Herding Quest?]

8

Sitri ended up being more solid than Mordecai could have ever hoped. Their collision became more of a tangle, but he did not topple the scarred beast like he wanted to. If there had only been more power behind it, he thought, he might have had more of a chance to take him down. But then there was the matter of Ptarmigan, who came soaring in and fended Sitri off even more. His backpedaling made Mordecai change tactics, and he moved to separate the two again with a snarl, words failing him in the process.

Gold eyes locked onto the silvering figure of Ptarmigan as Mordecai made the attempt to step in front of her, hoping to reason with her by blocking her path. But it left his back exposed to Sitri, who was considerably out for blood, and as he moved to try and go between them again quickly, he threw posturing and snapping in their directions. A perhaps futile effort to try and disrupt their fight even more, a violent command to get them to stop.
