Blacktail Deer Plateau rhinestone eyes

-slam dunks Corvus in here because of course I do-

Corvus had been at the eastern end of the territory when he heard Minori's cry for help. His heart sank in his chest like a stone in a lake, and the raven's legs carried him towards her on their own accord. Her call came from near the border where one could enter the plateau. He feared that she got into a skirmish with an intruder... or worse. If his mind weren't in a downright panic, he would've paced himself over such a considerable distance; but that was not the case, so he moved like a bullet across the terrain, legs and lungs burning from exertion. The adrenaline coursing through him made all of that insignificant in this moment.

He'd caught the tail end of Minori saying something to Ruenna once in hearing range: "... may not wake up." Corvus was relieved upon discovering that Minori was completely unharmed, albeit pacing with anxious energy. He was ready to collapse when he finally arrived on the scene, entire body screaming at him for pushing it to its limit. His tongue lolled while his lungs fought to suck in enough air to keep him standing. His attention was brought to the dark, freckled form that lay bleeding from its hindquarters on the ground, unconscious — Issun. What did he get himself into? Was he foolish enough to pick a fight with a creature larger than him? If Corvus were more coherent, he would've easily realized that Issun must have been pursued by his assailant from the fact that his wounds were on his back end. But he was as emotionally charged as he could ever be, so this didn't even cross his mind.

While still angered by Issun's cowardly behavior and how it — he — was hurting Minori, Corvus was not so petty as to desire harm to befall him as it clearly had now. It took him quite some time to catch his breath, and he slid to take a seat while he did so. Once finally collected enough to speak, he asked, Does anyone know what happened? His voice was hoarse, and the words came out between intakes of breath, throat raw from forcefully taking in so much cold air. He didn't feel the need to ask what he could do since Minori had just asked that, and it was clear he was here to assist where he could.
