Redtail Rise piercing

sorry if i skipped anyone, thank you all for joining and whumping my boy so early hehe

Unintentional as it was, it is the pale girl's attempt to slow his retreat that ultimately saves his life. Her blood sprays from his jowls as his teeth rake across her neck, coming away with nothing but a few tufts of stained-pink fur as the vessel's steps falter briefly. Whale-eyed, Orobashi twists back to finish the job, but it is just enough movement for the red-masked boy to sail past his jugular and connect fangs with shoulder, the sharp pinch of canines piercing flesh joining the ache in his hip.

Orobashi's bellows join the din as jaws snap towards red-mask's closest appendage, fury and pain and hunger urging him to taste blood once more. But he was tiring; an empty belly may spark the fire but, without the muscle mass to maintain it, those flames would soon be dulled.

A heavy pressure on his neck sends him spinning into the dirt and the world goes grey. Ears ringing, he sees the shikigami grinning terribly, the cries of his attackers morphing into laughter. It is not until his vision clears and the shikigami's face shifts to that of the stormcloud's that Orobashi's instincts resurge. Sides heaving with the effort, claws scrabble for purchase on the man's belly as he seeks to loosen his chokehold.

He would not die today.

He would not let it win.
