INTO THE WOODS ◇ PRIVATE FOR NOW

[WINTERHYMNS P.]

LOOK AT THE SKIES
THEY HAVE STARS IN THEIR EYES

Winterhymns hadn't been expecting to have anyone tackle him down today but it give take him by surprise as a grunt left him as he hit the sand. A growl would leave his throat hearing the other talk to him in a sickeningly sweet voice with mocking undertones to it, his pupils narrowing into dangerous slits "Why I'm flattered that you think I'm cute-" He began feeling the claws of the femme beginning to dig into his flesh, he kept to the ground but with a swift, powerful movement of his hind legs did he attempt to hit Aphra directly in the gut to make her recoil with pain or fling her off, he spat out with lash of his tail "But I'm a taken man." He would roll back onto his legs keeping her gaze on the Cipher with his lips drawn back into a snarl. His satchel having fallen off during the other's attack but his eyes caught sight of his dagger from the corner of his eye, he brushed sand over it with his tail deciding he would fight tooth and claw until he deemed it necessary to use his dagger.

The fur on his spine rose with hostility as another growl would escape "It's not a very smart idea to attack someone on their homeland, darling." The word slipping out with sarcasm as his spotted tail lashed to the sides, he lunged forward aiming to swipe at her chest or face with outstretched claws, he didn't even know her motive for attacking him to begin with. I don't even know who you are, Winnie thought with frustration only to back away after a few of his swipes, it had been a bit since he had fought but he could never forget the times he and Eternalknight would spar with one another. Except... They never used their claws. He took a deep breath as he took some steps back standing over his satchel unaware that was Aphra's main goal to get, if he had known that's what the woman had wanted then he would have probably been more than willing to throw a few gold coins at her. Unfortunately, she chose to pick a fight with the Pendragon.

"Why don't you go home before you get really hurt?" He hissed knowing that Rhinestonestar or any of the others wouldn't be pleased at the fact that this random stranger was attacking him, Winnie was certain that Magnum would be the least pleased. He continued to hold his ground deciding to keep an eye on what she did next, Win knowing that he had to get back home at least in one piece after this... Scuffle.
