Blackfeather Woods you must know life to see decay.

Alrighty, since if I'm reading right, she is scramming from the area after this thread, I'll give @Rouge ample room to skedaddle!  If I'm misunderstanding that, LMK, and I can edit as needed!

Wham.  A strike to her shoulder and the other black wolf toppled, Quixote's jaws coming free as his momentum almost tripped him over her prone form.  The other guy was free, but he'd gone right back in to the fray, goddamn it.  They probably could have taken this chick out entirely if he'd stuck around.  Oh well.

The woman's wild snapping did cause him to pull back out of her reach, but not before a nice new gouge was added to his muzzle.  Quixote didn't have time to be over here, distracted, and keenly wished to get back to the rest of the group ASAP.  Especially since he didn't trust Eljay to cover his place in the main group.  He wanted her gone.  Now.  All things together, he figured she was probably a mild coward, or at least in over her head.  She'd picked off a straggler the rest of the group didn't know was even there, one who couldn't fight worth a damn, which was a tactically smart decision, but her actions now didn't echo that. Perhaps Eljay's earlier screams had foiled a silent assassination attempt.

Trusting in his judgement, Quixote's face contorted into a brutal snarl, lunging at her hindquarters to try and get her up and running away, to cause enough damage to her flanks that when combined with his initial attack on her shoulder it might be enough smell of blood to not allow her to sneak up on anyone else unless they misplaced their nose.  Yes, this was her one chance to get out before the inky beast slaughtered all her friends -- or at least, that's what he was doing his best to pretend, like that bite to his face had awakened a demon within him.  Why bother actually fighting when a little acting might be better?

If she got up and did flee, he'd chase her off, diving for another bite at her hips or heels if she slowed.  He'd stop after being sure she was well on her way into the next county and not keen on returning any time soon.  Then he'd be able to head back, assuming stuff was still going on by then.
