It only took a hissed command to smear away his doubts and send him into a blind lunge after the few familiar creatures rushing to met the enemy midway. If his lungs worked properly, he would've giggled at the absurdity of what he gotten himself into. But he could only wheeze in sharp, nearly-desperate inhales as a recognized buzz flooded his senses. No, not now, go away! A violent shake of his head should have warded away the advance, but something... someone grabbed hold of his foot and yanked, effectively tripping him up enough to release the scrawny boy into a skidding tumble.
Nauseating hum bouncing off the sides of his skull as he lifted his face from the dirt, Beck scrambled back to a readied stance despite the static whispering in his ears. Amber eyes drifting across the scene involving a fox on the verge of a tantrum barking at Crow, his attention was quickly stolen from the blooming fight to a mirrored silhouette idly watching the violence on the distant sidelines. The buzz drowned out the insults thrown at each other and the noise of exchanged blows as Beck could only stare at him. Rotten eyesockets peered back at him, accompanied by a smile streaked by the red of a nosebleed. The hallucination tilted his head to tease the poltergeist, disturbing a sparse cloud of flies from his decomposed frame, before swiveling his head once more to face ahead of Beck. The entranced feline followed the empty gaze, returning attention to the battle breaking out before his eyes --
Another was lurching towards him, a blur of tan fur. Beck's ears dropped to flatten against his head. Yet instinct kicked back in, and the apparition of the boy disappeared in a blink. If Leroy hadn't the kindness to save his distracted ass, the caracal would likely have tackled cold air instead of catching him. Get it together, Beck. When [member=3521]captain[/member] spun on his heel to challenge the faithful wolfhound, the unseen entity circled around to get behind him, rematerializing right as jaws of razor-sharp teeth aimed to clamp down on one of his thighs, claws seeking to join teeth to score his haunches while he erratically shook his head back and forth. Maybe if he was lucky, his anatomy studies would pay off and he'd pierce the artery he knew pumped lifeblood under the wildcat's flesh.
