Redtail Rise [M] Ah but working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

The bear appeared to think that both wolves were working together. No doubt it could not tell the difference between lone wolves of the wilderness, and those that belonged somewhere. That was fortunate; it took to herding its own cubs away with attention affixed to Glawackus, and Glawackus took to staring it down with an intensity he hadn't previously displayed. His tail was straight out behind himself, his ears front-facing, and body rigid.

From around the other side of the bear — as the mother dwindled in size and soon was a shadow upon the marsh — there came the livid expression of the dark wolf, all teeth and moving fast. Glawackus reacted with a prompt duck and weave maneuver (the same he had tried before, unsuccesfully that time) and with a snap of his own teeth to try and warn the stranger back, he was bristling and keeping his distance.

The muck was slick around him though, and he wasn't able to keep his footing as well as he predicted. He nearly went down in his shoulder and once compensated and upright, the stranger was too close. He snarled, snapping again.
