Ouroboros Spine [Moose Herding Quest?]

Poor Ptarmigan. :C Also rolling with what I said would happened if this came up: 1 (Also I had to adjust this post mid-writing because my phone went off with your reply, Alisha. XD)

It happened too quickly for him to either prevent or stop. While he tried to keep Ptarmigan under control, Sitri swept in beside him for the final blow. Mordecai felt frozen in that last moment struggle, unable to respond before he felt the very spirit ebb from Ptarmigan's thrashing beneath him. Even before he felt that sensation pass did he feel another one rise to life inside him, and the call that came from Sitri shook him to his foundation.

He moved swiftly and sharp, fangs out as he went to pull Sitri down just as he had done Ptarmigan. Not to kill him, but to make him submit. For as battled as the quarreling pair was, Mordecai had come out relatively unscathed. What he didn't see was Kaname arriving on that scene as he launched himself at Sitri, but at that point Mordecai didn't care. Sitri had thrown away everything about what he had been trying to prevent.
