Hideaway Strath the immaculate conception

The woman falls to her back and Arturo is about to lunge again, seeking not the most obvious place of attack: her throat, but instead the soft belly she has exposed. Tearing out her innards would prove, ideally, just as effective …if not more so. For her it would mean a slow and painful death. He means to kill. There is no diplomat to be found within the gangster now. Any hope of talking this out was long since gone the moment the trespasser kept going. Lotte is quick to join him, though her approach is much more subtle. She goes for the woman’s flank and hits her mark — though this does not surprise Ceannasach. His wife is a warrior, after all; and if he were not so hell bent on protecting what is theirs he might have taken a moment to marvel over the fact that this is the first time the gangster king and queen stood shoulder to shoulder in battle with one another. The woman had made a mistake when she’d crossed into the Strath’s borders and kept going and if she lived past this day she would have a reminder of it for the rest of her life — of that Arturo was sure.

@Astik joins the battlefield — the colossal, umbra Rook surging forward with a quieted snarl though he hangs back for Lotte and Arturo have the situation well in hand. He is merely back-up, ready to give chase if she manages to escape her two attackers. Arturo feigns towards the trespasser aiming to sink his teeth into her hind leg opposite of Lotte as she attempts to kick at his wife.
