[Oh, that. That is never a good sign. Deep down, this sure is starting to feel like being chased by a raptor. A swampraptor. A swampraptor of trickery and cunning.

Pauses to listen, just for a split second—she's confident that she'll be able to react quickly enough if he goes in for the kill now.

…

…

Gotcha.

And two can play at that game (since predators from above are NEVER a good thing), so! Tree-chase?]

[The pause and climb gave him time... She's laiden and he KNOWS this area.

The swamp raptor seems to just know when to drop to a lower branch or swing to something higher, or when a dodge off track actually makes better time.

It is one of those detours that end with the diminutive figure actually showing up in FRONT of her as her route forced her a certain path.

He doesn't even say a word, just flashes a sharp row of teeth and KICKS.]

[—Shit!

Though Meatshield the Marwok absorbs much of the impact, it's won't be enough to save her from a fall. But Aella's no quitter—if she's going down, raptor-face is going down with her.

It's a simple matter of speed and flexibility to switch prizes. She has just enough time, barely enough time, to drop the marwok and snatch hold of his leg, flash a grin of her own, and send them both tumbling to the swamp floor.]

Quit yipping, brat!

[Uses a branch to pull a hairpoint turn...

And behind the both of them, youhear the roar and whumwhump of the gigantic creature finally giving chase.... It gets closer alarmingly fast on the straightaway.]

No! You get treed and we're gonna be dinner... Just...

THERE!

[Suddenly yanks on the back of her shirt, sending them both sprawling into a watery pool. His hand, and... another's from the other side, seems to be keeping her down.]

[Brat? Who's he calling a brat?! – is what she might've thought, or said, if she hadn't been JUST A LITTLE PREOCCUPIED JUST THEN.

She sucks up her pride and keeps running, following every movement he makes with all the speed and precision she has. The threat of IMMENENT DOOM is a pretty damn good motivator, really—

--aljksdmnfm, yanked, and then there's water, and what the balls what the balls what the balls those sure are hands holding her there. Shock keeps her still for a beat, but it's quick to wear off. To struggle is an ingrained, hard-wired reflex, though the results aren't too effective.]

[Not really because the water itself seems to be holding you down after a moment. The water muddies, obscuring sight of the surface...

And not a moment later, the water by your head is disturbed by a giant foot landing deep into the muck, half scaled, half furred. It pauses there a moment, before you feel through the sudden current of the water, it lope on taking a new direction as if deciding they MUST have gone that way.]

[Funny how a just a few seconds can feel like a lifetime, when you're partially immobilized in a pool of thick, muddy water, with a badgercroc right there above you. Right then, even if she hadn't been restrained, she wouldn't have moved a muscle.

And then it's leaving. Taking off over thattaway, leaving them alone.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.]
