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

Ram him she did! Their bodies connected in a flurry, and there was the crack of bone on bone, as Glawackus was bowled off-kilter; but he was scrambling even then, digging his heels in to the muck and clawing at the more compacted soil where he could, to get somewhere solid. It hurt, and he would be bruised — but he snarled and snapped and moved, as quickly as gravity would allow.

He wasn't going to back down this time. Not when she was alone! Yes, he was skinny and desperate like before, but he was more desperate after numerous failures lately, and her goading, her snapping, and her now near-constant assault only served to rile him in to a real fight for survival. No he wouldn't be running this time - and she'd soon realize her own mistake by targeting him.
