The young boar was just barely escaping the snapping secui's jaws, it's flanks surging faster through the dense undergrowth just as she would canon forward, her slavering maw repetitively clicking shut over thin air. The two took a thundering leap over a felled tree, their surging clamor thrown into perfect sync as paw and hoof both met the ground. It was a thundering rhythm, but the steady lunges of sinewy legs brought her closer with each long stride. The inexperienced huntress' throat rattled in irritation as the prey would evade; not breaking her lope, a paw shooting out in the hopes of hooking a leg and causing the hog to stumble. The lashing paw missed by a hairsbreadth, but though her move was faulty, it was still met with the success of a clipped tendon at the leg. The beast roared in pain, causing a triumphant grin to peel back the ruddy flesh of carnivorous lips. Her victory was short lived. A hoof violently lashed out a moment later, so close she could feel its edges part the hairs on her arm. Having fully expected to be kicked in the face, her stride had faltered in the millisecond; saving her life, but also ruining the rhythm of the surging lope. She stumbled to a halt, skidding in a pile of wooded debris where she immediately collapsed to her belly. The young boar squealed triumphantly as it sped deeper into the undergrowth, the rumble of churning hooves growing more distant by the second. White breathy clouds wound violently into the morning air as she panted, tongue lolling out in exhaustion - she could only lie there as her target fled, her muscles still quivering with adrenaline. ooc(hover)
