Jenci hooted as the blood sprayed from the woman's wound, leaping up and down with excitement even as his sister tumbled to the ground with the force of the cinnamon-furred coyote's kick, blood pouring from her face where the woman had scratched her. Jenci, slow as he was, didn't realize the very real danger his sister was in -- as there were two Boros wolves, it was a given in Jenci's mind that he and his sister should triumph here. The big wolf grinned broadly, though this grin faltered as he heard Evike's very real screech of pain. The cinnamon wolf was flying at him then, and Jenci took a few stumbling steps back, though it was not enough to keep her claws from his face. His hoots and howls quickly turned to long yowls of pain, and he swung his clubless arm wildly at the woman, seeking to rake her with his claws where he could.
Evike stood slowly, wiping the blood from her face with a snarl. Her brother was yelling and making enough noise to rouse the dead, and even through the white-hot wall of pain across her face, Evike knew this would bring the rest of the pack down upon them. Their ransom had gone awry; this cinnamon coyote needed to die, and they could take the kid with them -- maybe he'd fetch a price in Freetown. There were some with peculiar tastes, after all, and Evike thought the little one might make a slave yet. Evike did not notice the youth that had drawn them down upon this border was now gone, retreated deeper into Inferni's territory.
She stepped toward the woman, swinging her club two-handed toward the russet-furred canine's head. Evike was impervious to her brother's shouts and screams; the fool had done himself by getting too excited and forgetting he fought living, thinking beings. There was nothing to be done for him now.
