Redhawk Caldera In screaming color

OOC: *hoards Stevie threads* Also, I guess I powerplayed a little so let me know if you want me to change it!

IC: Elwood had expected Finley to topple backwards with the impact of his maneuver, but on second thought, he realized that he should have anticipated the exact opposite. She was not a predictable wolf, and she obviously wasn't one to go down without a fight; so what had he been thinking? Of course she would wrap her arms around his neck, simultaneously sinking her teeth into the thick charcoal fur on his shoulder. She didn't bite him hard enough to break the skin, but he felt the pressure of her jaws and instinctively moved away from it. (Actually, Kim learned in crisis prevention training that you're supposed to "feed the bite" and move towards it; Elwood must not have paid attention in class.)

He only succeeded in dragging Finley back with him, for she was a stubborn and determined little bugger. "Um," he said, craning his neck to look down at her, "I think I need to see Ashton. I appear to have developed a growth."
