"Don't be stupid." Tokyo snapped, repeating her previous sentiment, terror giving her words a stronger edge of hatred. "I can't believe you honestly think that your pack, your scrawny bunch of half-breed ugly things, can take down Dahlia de Mai. Do you know how many members we have, now? Haven't you guys shed enough blood to our teeth, yet? Why don't you just give up?" Big words for a creature still stumbling backwards, for a mother clinging to a two month old little boy.
When King snarled at Kaena, when he started to growl.. Tokyo's heart swelled with pride. Her little, lovely, perfect child.. Fearless. Faced with the sort of horror you only expect to see in nightmares, and he growled! She loved him.. loved him so much that it hurt, that this hurt, that her worry was almost making her sick. She had to talk big. It might intimidate her, might make her think twice.. Or, if nothing else, it might keep her talking. And if Kaena was talking, she wasn't fighting. She wasn't attacking. Talking wouldn't last forever, though.
After a few quick steps backwards in succession, when a slightly larger gap than previously was established, Tokyo let loose a howl while she still had an opportunity to do so. It was a call for help. Initially directed just toward Haku, but the sound quickly rippled into just a general plea, a request for the assistance of any Dahlian who happened to hear, who was able bodied.. Who wanted violence, who wanted to spill some filthy coyote blood and stain the soil with the disgusting liquid.
Normally Tokyo would absolutely die of embarrassment, to have to beg for help like that, but.. This situation was dire. She couldn't turn her back and run, Kaena would surely attack. She couldn't shift; the few seconds it would take to accomplish would be more than enough for violence to occur. Not to mention she'd have to set King down, and he was getting big enough that it was awkward for his small mother to carry him in her mouth, now. She needed assistance. And she wanted to see this monster die.
