as caiaphas' strides brought her closer to the bear, it was obvious she hadn't really thought this through. not that anyone would really think that charging full-stop at a bear was an effective measure of self-preservation.

plan b. caiaphas slammed on the brakes, swerving in the wild manner of a creature unaccustomed to having to boogey. the slavering monster was all but upon her -- so close she could see the glistening blonde of his whiskers and his teeth as wide and as wicked as a corsair's blade. she was not able to get out of dodge before the bear swung a massively broad paw in her direction -- and like wheat chaffed by a scythe caiaphas was sent buckling to the earth.

a shriek burst forth from caiaphas' muzzle as her body impacted the ground -- but somehow, she found herself running. a scant glance in saena's direction revealed the female was no longer there -- with palpable fear threatening to burst through her chest, caiaphas ran headlong into the thicket. she was wounded, but she didn't yet know it -- all she knew was that next time, it was an incredibly bad idea to call attention to herself in front of a bear.
