The small fae's metallic tinted fur bristled along her spine, paws itching to bolt but she had a duty to uphold. she had to keep merikh unscathed by this evil brute if her only friend was to survive. Her ears were places straight, errect;y forward facing. observing just as closely as her bright blazing gaze boiling with ferocious intent. at least, that was how she meant it to look, despite her small stature.
Gaze locked, claws anchored to the ground, head low in a protective stance, her muzzle twitched into a wrinkle as she snarled in the most hair raisingly aggressive way she could, tail swishing behind with ill intent as her gaze stayed locked to brute, fangs gleaming like freshly sharpened blades, ready for a purpose.
She could feel her heart beat thudding in her ears as she was fully prepared for what she was about to do. something shed likely never do again if she could avoid it. As merikh finally took off she took the chance to dart forwards, lunging at the strangers shoulder as she flashed by him, successfully inflicting a small wound, enough to enrage the brute, hoping that it would entice him to follow her instead of merikh. her paws beat the ground in fast pitterpatters as she ran a wide circle, making enough distance so she could see out of the corner of her eye on whether or not the beastly male was following in pursuit.
