The Heartwood Now we're climbing higher

when the arrogant woman retaliated with violence rather than picking the smart choice and getting the hell outta here, the time for thinking was gone. instinct would take its turn, grabbing greedily at the control panel of her brain to let her give into the animal she truly was; now was the time for action. so having already felt like a tightly strung bow due to the excess adrenaline pumping throughout her body during this whole encounter she exploded into movement, letting this pent up energy soar as it so wished to. her body hummed with delight as it was allowed do what it did best, for this pent up energy hadn't really just built up upon seeing flicker; it had been simmering and beginning to build the moment she'd set foot in teekon and found the peace she'd sought for so long.

flicker dropped quickly and darted forward and although it resulted in tundra meeting nothing but empty air- she had suspected the fiery girl to dive at her no matter what height she chose to do it from and so with a light grunt she'd maneuvur her body with a soldier's grace, feeling teeth not manage to quite get a hold of her but scrape along her chest nevertheless, leaving a shallow but visible scratch although for now adrenaline worked better than any painkiller as she continued to turn and without a moments hesitation attempt to dive for the unprotected back of her neck, hoping to manage to latch her jaws around or onto it whilst using the momentum to force her body to remain in its crouched position.
