Coppery eyes stared into hazel as Regner stared down the cougar, his mouth opening and letting out an aggressive huff any time the lithe animal dared to approach, his muscles tense and ready to react to any movement that the cougar might make. He was so focused on his prey that he didn’t notice the newcomer until the grey and brown wolf barrelled forwards, lunging at the cougar with snapping teeth.
Regner was surprised by the newcomer but the soldier in him reacted to the precense of an ally automatically and Regner started to circle, flanking the cougar as the newcomer's jaws caught it around the shoulder, the cougar responding be hissing angrily and trying to claw at its attackers neck and face. Regner didn't stop to see if the cougar's blows had hit and instead charged forward, his axe singing through the air in an upwards arc.
What happened next took Regner off guard. Somehow the cougar had noticed the approaching danger and as Regner swung it tore itself backwards, tearing chunks of flesh and fat out of its own shoulder as it moved back and reared to up dodge the axe, spinning to face Regner as it did so. The elderly dog barely had time to drop his axe in an attempt to regain his balance before the cougar was upon him, powerful jaws clamping onto the dog's right arm just below the shoulder.
Regner let out a roar of pain and then dropped violently into a crouch, the movement both shaking the cougar and slowing Regner to reach the dagger strapped to his calf. With a defiant bark Regner shoved the knife upwards into the cougar's gut and jerked it, the animal backing off with a yelp of pain and taking the dagger with it, though Regner quickly drew a second from his shoulder, ignoring the ache from the cougar's bite and the strips of flesh it had raked off when it had retreated.
The cougar was a dead animal walking, the wound in its gut almost guaranteed to kill it through blood loss or blood poisoning as the contents leaked out through the painful wound. From the enraged look in the cougars eyes it knew this as well and with a shriek of rage is launched itself forwards, aiming between the two men at Adelle.
It was all Regner could do to get in front of the Cougar and raise his shield, catching the angry feline on the flat of the shield where it stuck, hissing and spitting angrily as it tried to reach round and claw Regner. Barely able to support the weight and unable to move without dropping the cougar onto himself Regner was left in the unenviable position of supporting an angry cougar, his legs bent as he fought to stay upright and claws whistling inches away from his ears.
