There came a bellowing voice, drawing away Reyes' attention, and then the elk moved defensively to rise and flail its limbs. He did not want the prey to take aim at anyone (least of all Teya) and so Reyes moved to distract it with a lunge, the snap of teeth, wheeling about so that he could keep away from its reach. When he stopped to pivot once more, he was as intended - opposite the large dark rogue.

Behind Germanicus was Teya, briefly. She too joined in harassing the target, weaving from the man's shadow while the elk was contending with the two men. Reyes aimed for one side of the elk's planted hindquarters and scored it with his teeth before rebounding.
