Vesper is by Nat!
As the blade dug deeper into her paw pads, Vesper could feel her grip grow slick with her own blood. She was fine with this, considering the alternative, but despite her high pain tolerance, she could only take too much. Muscles dangerously close to being damaged screamed at her to relinquish her grip, and when the sword grew suddenly heavy, she dropped it. It landed on the earth without fuss as the wolf focused her attention on Myrika, who was doing her best to slash in close with the dagger.
Blue eyes landed on the abandoned sword, and her weeping hands snatched it up. The weight was hard to bear for her skinny arms and clumsy wet grip, but she hoisted it up. A mailed hand was locked around Myri’s wrist, the wolf’s knife coming in, and Ves hoisted the sword the best she could, swinging it horizontally.
It was a blow easily dodged, with not a lot of strength behind it, but Saule’s legs remained unprotected. The edge bit into the back of her knee, and the wolf yowled and buckled suddenly into a grotesque genuflection. The sword slipped from Vesper’s weak grasp and flew off into the grass, but she lunged at the back of the wolf’s head, trying to shove her down and deal what damage she could.
