Redsand Canyon combat

Jack was haloed in light. Beyond that Leona couldn't see anything and that made her nervous, but Jack was not hurt; if anything he was enjoying himself. A few encouraging words from Maxim brought a bit more confidence to Leona, and she came striding out of the den with her ears swivelling.

The first thing she did was go to Jack. She probed his sides and face with her nose, and upon finding nothing amiss there, she investigated the bird underneath him. It didn't smell alive, plus Jack was straddling it pretty effectively, so she gave up on that pretty fast too.

She sneezed after, and sat down with a skeptical look upon her face.
