Swarthmore raises her head, scowling at you heavily. Eldritch has grown a new confidence, noticing the lioness beside her and she raises her head. “You will leave, or we will force you." She growls, and Swarthmore bears her teeth at you - it's clear she's agreeing.
”I am not leaving. I have permission to be here. By Shadowfaxx’s word.” You hiss in response, flicking your tail. You will not be so easily deterred. You are allowed here.
“We will make you leave, by teeth and claw. Is that what you want?” Eldritch growls. “I am not leaving.” You repeat, straightening your stature and raising your head in defiance.
Eldritch’s frown deepens and she grumbles, looking at Swarthmore and nodding her head. Almost immediately, the lioness is rushing at you, her claws already unsheathed and swiping at you. Karkanos jumps, eyes widening as she watches you dodge the swipes with great speed. Whether the adrenaline or pure skill, you manage to escape Swarthmore’s paws. Until she's jumping at you again and using her body weight to try and hold you down, growling and roaring with an unmatched ferocity.
You roll and the two of you fumble. You separate yourself from her, breathing a bit heavy. “Did that ruffle your fur?” She hisses lowly while getting back to her paws, likely thinking of another strategy. Eldritch stands a few feet away, stalking, her gaze calculating even if you cannot see her pupils.
Swarthmore lunges at you again, and before she can catch you, you slide back, just narrowly missing her paws. The both of you growl as you now send swipes and bites at eachother angrily.
Eventually, you tackle her, and before you can do anything properly, she kicks your paws from beneath you and rolls. She escapes your paws. How did she manage to think of that so quickly? - You're on the floor and getting back up, when there's a sudden weight on your back. It's light, but it's definitely bearing down on you. It's takes a moment of clouded thoughts until you realize it's Eldritch, clawing at your eyes and chest from behind - ignoring your roars of protest. When suddenly, the weight is relieved from your body. Swarthmore looks surprised from where she stands, catching her breathe as she watches whatever is happening in your direction.
You follow her gaze and find.. another lion?
