Whitefish River Crystal Clear

So did Hiero! posted in the same thread as Inna above!

Trying to keep it light so she could relax too, he trailed the woman closely, keeping his eyes and ears on a swivel as to try and catch anything that might be lingering in the darkness. Luckily for them both (and with some dice luck), they catch scent and sound of the lynx before it could do any major damage. Inna lept to the left, and Hiero lept into action as planned. 

How he hated to battle, but it was either fighting to laying down to the teeth and claws of another predator, putting another's life at risk for his own desire for peace. I can! Stay behind me! he barked in mid growl before lunging to the cat. His teeth snapped at nothing but air, but the cat's own weaponry didn't do much either but a mild scrape.

It felt like a lifetime ago for him to go on the offensive, but finally, the peacekeeper rolled his lips up in a daggered display; hackles raised and ears lowered, it was now or never. The knight was ready to defend. The screams of the now injured feline echoed loudly in the cave.
