The near silent pounding of dark pads on the snow swathed earth was a soothing sound to the young male to which the paws belonged. It had been very difficult for the Stormbringer to leave the safety of Ichika once again, but there were a few things he needed from the dampwoods that were lacking in the vast lands of Ichika. They were severely lacking in Cat's Claw, the little yellow flowering plant used to treat tumours. While Saul had never dealt with anyone with any kind of cancer, he'd read about it recently and knew that he should at least have some kind of reserve of medicine in case someone showed the symptoms. He'd also exhausted the Milk Thistle up in Ichika for this year and he'd already decided that he would try to convince Nayru to take some to help her lactate.
He felt the commotion before he heard it- the tiny changes in atmosphere that alerted him to the fact that something wasnt right. In the brief seconds afterwards, there was nothing else that would have tipped him off about the commotion. However, the terrified scream, that continued on to terrified screaming, echoed deep in his ears and Saul skidded to a stop. It sounded too high pitched to be anything male and therefore Saul had to assume that a female pup was in danger. A soft growl echoed in chest as he ghosted forward, careful not to make a sound now. He wanted the element of surprise that silence offered.
It took him little over three minutes to find the owner of the terrified screams. A little pup lay curled up in an over large fur in the base of a tree, while a dark male stood over her, facing off against a cougar. Saul watched as the cougar made a swift slash across the males face, before the older luperci roared in rage and barrelled forward. A small part of his mind was beginning to list herbs and plants that would help stem the flow of blood and stop infections, whereas the larger part of his brain kicked into instinctive bloodlust. With a deep growl in his chest, he stalked forward, dangerous and slow, shoulders rolling softly as he allowed his lips to pull back over his teeth.
"Leave" He snarled, not knowing if the cougar would understand him. Like Regner, Saul couldn't speak much Low Speech and he didnt know if he'd managed to get across the need for this cougar to turn tail and leave. Just in case it hadn't understood, Saul launched himself forward, teeth aiming to grasp the fatty chunk of flesh around the shoulder blades. Perhaps it wouldn't like the idea of being outnumbered.
