Ravensblood Forest My life ain't filled with worries

yay, thanks for jumping in!!!

It had indeed charged again, and ducking sideways, Dante's jaws snapped a foot away from the moose's hocks.  Instead of continuing to follow, though, he let the beast rush by unimpeded, and instead danced back a few steps, locking his eyes once more on the majestic challenger before him.  Were the opposer a stag, it was likely he would not have made it this far unscathed.  But like him, the moose was large, it's frame made more for the defensive stand than anything else.  Watching the flick of it's ear, the irritated heaving of breath, the alpha suddenly relaxed, tail lowering and fur flattening.  Without looking away, he backed up even more paces, putting more distance between himself and the irritated moose.

Faced now with the decision to flee or fight, and given the space to make either a reality, the moose appeared to consider a moment.  Finally, with a last toss of it's antlers, it chose the former, leaving Dante for more peaceful groves.  It was lucky Junior held her silence, or it might have made a different call on the matter.

Finished, Dante sat where he was, finally scratching an itch on his side that had grown irritating the past minute.  Thinking himself alone, he looked over to see Junior, who had presumably been.. Watching?  How long had she been there?  "Junior!? What are you doing here!?" Tail waving, he got to his feet to greet her properly, glad to see her and not expecting to have so soon after their previous meeting.  Wasn't she shacked up somewhere else now?
