The Heartwood Now we're climbing higher

so her head definitely made contact and whilst she succeeded in knocking flicker back that didn't mean she wasn't definitely gonna have a headache later. totally worth it though. she didn't manage to quite grab a hold of the woman's muzzle but she could settle with what she managed and still got to enjoy the feeling of her teeth dragging along the soft flesh.

as the red toned traitor backed off, tucking up in self defense tundra would hold off launching another attack despite her tensed muscles basically screaming at her to, it took a lot to force herself down from her high but luckily a sensible part of her continued to warn that she just wanted to push flicker back enough to leave in peace. okay and maybe teach her a bit of a lesson too but by continuing much more she could start something much bigger than she was supposed to and so simply settled to shaking her aching head whilst keeping a wary eye on her company lest she thought it smart to jump back in for more.

eventually she seemed to simply brace herself, regarding tundra with watchful gold eyes and so the soldier took that as a win on her part despite the blood staining the pale fur of her chest. panting as the adrenaline began to leak from her at the sudden lack of action she'd simply nod; no words had to be said to express the message they both knew. for now that was it, but that'd definitely not be the last time they'd probably be faced against each other like this. but for now- it was time for them to both return home, she'd gotten what she needed anyway. with a flick of her ears she'd back up slowly- refusing to turn her back on the woman until she was a decent distance away and would then turn and trot briskly home- keeping ears tilted back just in case the melonii snake got any stupid ideas.
