Silver Moraine BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

They push the Grotto wolf back from the kill initially. The stranger and Heda clashed in full and Dio maintains his own rally, pressuring him with snapping teeth and a closeness that doesn't give him too many directions to flee in should he decide that to be route. Instead, he offers splitting it and the golden mercenary only barely manages to hold the scoff back by barred teeth. So outnumbered like this, his chances are slim.. even with the single reinforcement here on the edges of his periphery, calling for others who may not even come. Meanwhile, the Dragon is here now, and in force while time ticks onward.

He keeps the Heda in his sights and snarls darkly to punctuate her words for the Larksong male. She was generous enough to give him the choice to leave, so now he waits for the Grotto to make their move one way or another. He is poised and ready to lunge.
