Blacktail Deer Plateau if i could, i would dare

The night fell quiet as tension built on the plateau above, but Jinx didn't notice. She was too self-absorbed, and also engrossed in her task, to really pay attention to her surroundings. The shadow lurking on the ledge ahead was therefore ignored as she scouted her way along the plateau's base... At least until he dropped in front of her. The next couple seconds seemed to slow down in Jinx's brain, but they happened in quick succession, fast enough that an onlooker might miss it in the blink of an eye.

Like some great cat, Peregrine descended from the sky and landed silently, only to rise with a protective and furious expression. The snarl gave him away, and as his snout darted for hers, she was able to pull away, but not enough to fully avoid the rake of his teeth against her nose. Pain flooded her senses and she worked her jaw fruitlessly in an effort to rid herself of it... And then it gave way to competitiveness.

It had been a long time since Jinx had been able to cause mischief and mayhem, and longer since she had been in a good old fashioned scuffle. She took stock of Blacktail's guardian in a mere half-second before she raised her own head and issued her own challenging growl, accompanied by the baring of teeth, gums, and tongue. She met his gaze evenly, determine to egg him on... For he was bigger, but she was fast, and confident she could make a break for it if things turned bad.

Ever an unlawful wolf and not taken with losing an advantage, Jinx made the next move, a mere two seconds after his teeth sprung blood from her sensitive nose: she lunged for his snout in turn, for now hoping to just grab it and force his head down.
