Ouroboros Spine [Moose Herding Quest?]

Sourly enough, Mordecai's intervention did little to separate them. He felt rake through his coat, felt the sting of a snag, but short of giving them a brief interlude he found himself skidding to a stop. Huffing, hackles bristled and a growl boiling deep in his throat, he turned around to catch the sight of Ptarmigan going for Sitri's legs, and his response of trying to steer clear of her jaws.

He began moving once more towards the fray, but this time without the battering ram technique. As Sitri moved to bowl Ptarmigan over, he moved to knock Sitri off his axis, hoping that in the event he were successful he would be able to stave Ptarmigan off from whatever malicious intent she had to tear Sitri, and himself, apart.
