Hoshor Plains reflections

Evergreen gave his own ready as he moved into a more combatant stance. He was careful to shield his blind side, but that meant sticking to her left and today, he had given her the upper hand. With no need to worry about her injury on the right, Ira would keep her eyes on the bear as he moved, shifting in place to avoid prolonged openings along her flank.

It was then the man lunged, a blow too obviously aimed for her shoulder that allowed her to rear back before his fangs had the chance to graze her skin. In any normal circumstance she might have delivered a swift blow to the head to stun her attacker, but she knew that was out of line now. Instead, the Count would respond with a snap of her teeth near Evergreen's neck.

Ira moved slower than she would have liked, but if she never made contact her energy was not wasted. The snap had been intended to spook the bear or force him back as he evades, though should her blow land she would have no complaints.
