Wormwood's eyes narrowed slightly as Vathmos began to circle, and he flattened his ears a bit at the loud laughing and whooping. He hadn't really fought any of the hyenas from back in the time of the tribe, so he wasn't aware of the tactics they employed, but he definitely knew how annoying they could be when they really wanted to be. He never really considered Vathmos's laughing on it's own that annoying – maybe a bit out of place at times – but in this context, it was definitely disorienting. His muscles were tensed each time the smaller hyena dashed forward and back, her fakeouts already starting to get under his skin. Just as he was getting ready to make the first move for her, she charged forward, and he felt teeth scraping against the skin of his back.
Letting out a grumbling sound close to a roar but softer, the lion let Vathmos dig in, but then moved to swing most of his weight so that he could roll onto his back, slamming Vathmos into the ground to knock the breath out of her. He didn't want to start out with anything too vicious, since he didn't actually want to hurt Vathmos. After all, he knew very well that a large male – almost adult – lion could very much mess up a hyena of her stature badly, if not kill them.
