Blackfoot Forest new blood

I don't wanna drag you through this thread for much longer, haha. Sorry for being so slow. Njal can exit here or Laksha can follow after him.

It responded swiftly, although Njal couldn't be sure of how truthful the animal was. He saw little reason to trust the large cat. The wolf stood near the base of the tree and halted, no longer pacing around it like a watchful hound; although, he kept his attention squarely placed upon the feline. If at any point the animal tried to leap from its perch, Njal would be ready—and he highly suspected the cougar would take whatever chance it got to assault him. He didn't want to linger long though. Fox would need to hear about this cougar... And the warden would have to find another location for his family's next den site. This forest was once a safe haven, but it would be too dangerous with the cat around. The wolf kept a scrutinous eye upon the cougar as he moved—tracing a path around the tree as if to return to his earlier circumnavigation of the trunk—but when he thought there was enough cover between himself and the potential assailant, Njal drifted off through the bushes.
