It's allright Word Count: 388 Dawali waited until Catherine came up to where he was standing, although before he could say anything she seemed to have a plan. Silently, not wanting to alert the animal further, he studied her with yellow eyes as she semi-crouched and approached the thrashing animal. The young girl, whom Dawali knew very little about, despite running into her seemingly everywhere, looked as if she was keenly focused on the task at hand. Dawali felt a nervousness creep up in him. Originally it had been his plan to have one of them distract the animal, perhaps with a stick, so the other could get close enough to stab something sharp into her throat (they had no spear, unfortunately). His fingers fidgeted nervously with his bow, worried for the safety of the young female, as though the cow was on her side she could easily twist around and kick her, and that would be it. Often enough had Dawali buried members after hunting accidents, and he knew nothing of Catherine's experience or style. The cow was much larger than even him, and he was quite tall for his species. As the girl suddenly attacked the panicking prey, with an aggressiveness that surprised the male, he started and took a step forward, wanting to help but finding no room for him in this operation. He would do no good startling the animal, and hopefully Catherine knew what she was doing. It seemed she did just that, as soon two knives were planted in vital areas of the cow, and the wounds slowed her enough to allow him to get close enough to slit the animal's throat. He didn't get to that, however, as just as Catherine moved away from the cow, the animal kicked out as a last effort and landed a blow on her arm. She held her arm as she came over to Dawali at a safe distance, but seemed to think it trivial in comparison to the situation. Dawali did not, however, and quickly reached out with his hands to check her arm out - if she would let him. He was a medic, after all. He would not take no for an answer, but he would not touch her until she had given him a yes. Let me look at that, the dead prey arn't going anywhere.
