Swiftcurrent Creek The fury that eats me alive

(Defend - 3)
(Attack - 5)

HP: ?/22 - to be determined once Scim's defense comes in to play?

The two met in a rush of muscle, stress and fury. The ebony male managed to sidestep his attack, his own glancing across Scimitar’s shoulders – the sting of the wound was nothing compared to the adrenaline he felt, and with a bubbling snarl, his figure twisted, his paws digging to the ground for support.

The other’s words fell on deaf ears – Jace was no good to him dead, for he was now the only leverage the Creek could use to get Leaf and Magpie back. Strange to think he had spouted only moments before about how another had best not dare lay a paw on Leaf, and yet here he was.. too enraged to do anything useful for the girl and too stupid to see that not only was this the Creek’s only option with Fox now gone and Ferdie’s terms set.. but he had also walked right in to it. Clearly, Jace was all talk about saving his girl – had the roles been reversed, Scimitar would have laid his life down to have Bazi returned to her home.

So it was action that was taken. As Jace’s teeth skimmed over his shoulders to break the skin, Scimitar made to take advantage of the position where Jace’s neck was now exposed – twisting his figure in an attempt to move from Jace’s grip, his own jaws sought to grip at the flesh at the curve of Jace’s neck – he was not aiming to kill.. but if the other’s red fury did not settle, he might have to change tactics.
