i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Aurum didn't even have time to think before Snarl was upon him, and teeth were being sunk into his belly. He gave a grunt of pain at this, grateful for the fact that he had thick fur and muscle to make it so that the bite wasn't too devastating, but it was definitely a sign that Snarl was right about their speed difference. Aurum was muscular, massive, and powerful, but he wasn't speedy. However, he had his own means of dealing with the differences between the two of them. He watched as she backed up a few paces, only this time he was ready. As she charged at him, the lion yanked his back half out of the way, hoping that her lunge missing would throw her off balance. He then launched himself forward, attempting to catch her off balance and slam her down onto her side, his sharp teeth aiming for her side to sink into. Being Captian of the Guard, Aurum prided himself on his fighting abilities, and despite Snarl's beginning efforts to make sure that neither of them could think, his mind was already frantically coming up with strategies to deal with her. She was fast, and evidently she wanted to be on him at every moment, but she also seemed to know that their different in firepower was considerable. If she wanted to win a war of time and pain, then she couldn't afford to be up close and personal with him for long, which was a fact that he could take to his advantage.
Whether or not his prior attack had succeeded, Aurum would move back a bit to slam his paw against the ground nearby, calling forth his flame elementals. He had been exhausted after the last time he had used them in battle, but that had been several days ago, not to mention the fact that he didn't need to use much powerful for this. He aimed to form a ring of fire around them, not too big, but big and intimidating enough to show that it would hurt like hell if one went into it. It was wrapped around the two of them just tightly enough that Snarl would have very little room to move or maneuver whatsoever. She'd be forced to deal with him, whether he was stronger or not. Once he was sure he had gotten her attention, he took a deep breath before rushing forward, making it seem as though he was going to lunge for her throat before he teleported behind her, aiming to land upon her back and dig his claws in. It was a nasty fake out, and he was definitely using powers to his advantage, but... well, Kaz had said to use everything at their disposal, and Aurum's "magic" was certainly something at his disposal, along with his strength and strategy. Hopefully if he was able to knock her over and pin her, he could use his powerful jaws and razor sharp claws to convince her to forfeit. He knew it wasn't just a pinning match, but if he could exhaust her... well, hopefully fangs on neck, ready to dig in and kill, would be enough to convince Miller that they had fought to the fullest. Still, he was getting ahead of himself. He couldn't get overconfident, especially considering she had caught him off guard at first. He was recovering quickly, but he had to keep on top if he was going to keep up with his opponent, especially considering her speed, even if he had essentially boxed them in with flames.
