The Heartwood thunderstruck

Mai has OK'd skipping Ensio for this reply, in Discord PM! As well as the ability to reference him watching Sov <3

Sovereign felt she needed to make her decision quickly.
Would she fight this woman, or not?
She felt Ensio's eyes watching her, but this was her battle now, not his.
She would not ask of him to defend her here, nor did she think he would, for both their sakes. 

The teenager felt the brief brush of fang through fur in a flash, though she did not feel the pain of torn flesh. 
A warning in return it seemed, from the tri-colored woman.

Sovereign begrudgingly decided it would be best long-term, to bend to the authority of the other bitch.  
She could probably stick with Ensio this way, and live to fight another day as she got the rest of her strength back...

The pale behemoth would let out a low whine, averting her gaze, slanting her ears back all in the same moment - and offering a lick of her lips in submission, bending her limbs to bow away from Zharille and expose her stomach in a more open display. 
She curled her tail in and wagged it between her legs to say You win, I submit. 

The girl would stay on her back until the bearish woman would give some signal that Sov could get up again.
