Ouroboros Spine x-ing a paragrab

At the first summoning, Adrastus bristled and growled softly. He hadn't heard this tone in Kukutux's voice, and it was almost unrecognizable. Dulcet tones made tense with fear and outrage, from what he could tell- warning him that they had a trespasser. Nothing to get too terribly upset about, he thought- they had no children that a trespasser could steal, and food could be replaced as it was summertime- but if the stranger chose to endanger one of their members then it was an issue all the same.

He had been some distance away, but had reached the narrow pathway leading up the slope by the time Kukutux called out for aid wherever she could get it- from Sialuk, Keyni, Zane...And he urged his limbs to move faster as he barrelled up the slope. He sensed that Kukutux was in danger, and he would not allow her to face this alone.

He would arrive only moments after Keyni who bounded toward the ruddy trespasser with faithful ferocity. There was a flash of pale fur at her side as both females rushed the male. Lowering his head, Adrastus closed the gap between the trio of warring wolves and himself, trusting the loner to be distracted long enough by the two women who attacked him for Adrastus to come within lethal range, placing himself opposite the two Moonglow women so he might cut off the reddish female's escape and keep her surrounded on all sides.

With a growl, he too sprang toward her, his muzzle wreathed in wrinkles as he snarled, bared his teeth, and made to aim his snapping jaws for her flank.
