Just wanted to note re: second paragraph, planned thread ending satisfies this. XD Didn't want you to think Eris was going to go all Tayui!hunter after this. >_> I get paranoid like that, harp d'darp.
Eris is by me!
Even through the pain, the sable-hued woman pushed forward as her snow opponent did the same, favoring the injured leg but not tempering her charge. The dark woman snapped with her jaws, but where she expected Tayui, the woman was not there. She'd stumbled and slid, and Eris sailed to her side, whirling as quickly as her injuries allowed to face the other woman. The shadow-furred coyote stepped after her, lowering herself as close to the ground as her Optime form allowed. There was no thought to her, and whatever notions she'd previously held of standing and fighting were long gone.
The pale woman before her had been liege to Salsola, member of her pack, under her protection -- and now Eris wished for nothing short of the other woman's death. Even if Tayui escaped here today, Salsola would hunt her until her death paid for her disloyalty. The dark-hued woman knew this was still a possibility, for even as she stepped after the woman, her leg ached fiercely, red-hot spikes of pain drawing up and down her thigh.
The gurgle and rush of water somewhere behind Tayui did not give Eris pause as she dashed forward once more, stumbling herself as her leg failed mid-stride. The dark hybrid was fortunate enough to catch herself and save her charge, continuing to rush the former Salsolian with teeth bared.
