Larksong Grotto Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll

Reek rolls a 9!

Feel free to post whenever you can @Eslani. Since this is a joining thread, I'm going to try and keep it moving as fast as possible!

The silence -- apart from the pitter-patter of steady rainfall -- shared between them as they stared each other down was soon replaced by a low and guttural growl coming from Reek's throat. It was his best attempt at intimidation. He found, while he was not the best fighter in the wilds, he could turn the tide in his favor by worming his way into his opponents head. Aspen, however, seemed absolutely unfazed— and before Reek had any proper time to react, she was already upon him, lunging forward with jaws outstretched.

She locked down on his scruff, and with a twist, Reek staggered sideways into the mud, however, he did not let himself falter. He struggled to pull away. Whipping his head back, he felt her teeth painfully scape across the skin of his unprotected neck. Having pulled from Aspen's grip, Reek lunged forward with a feral intensity. Jaws parted wide, he seeked purchase around Aspen's neck. Once he had her, Reek would roll, and unlike Aspen, Reek would use their collective weight to knock her into the mud, because, if he was going down... so was she.
