i am making a light assumption mal stops attacking when yunxu does given the rest of his post but if not let me know and i will edit, i just didnt want this post to be utterly dialogueless LOL
yunxu had no idea what was going on.
he'd hoped the thing chasing him was a figment of his imagination too, but when another body crashed into his the defensive snarl- which had been meant to scare more than it was meant to start a fight- it was clear it very much was not. fear twisted immediately into deeper panic. he snarled again, with all the force he could put into it, but the creature on top of him just snarled and snapped in turn and any higher function to yunxu's mind- that might have helped think over the situation- immediately shut down.
he could not flee. the thing was in front of him, blocking his escape. which meant fight.
teeth raked across his muzzle. his leg protested as he twisted, writhing and snapping for an escape. yunxu bit for anything he could possibly reach with the frantic terror of a prey animal, backed into a corner, knowing there was a slim chance to make it out alive.
they were no skilled fighter, despite their aggression. but panic was a powerful motivator.
something else caught him. sharp, scything through the skin on his leg. yunxu snapped for it, whether it was face or paw or something else, still snarling wildly.
the shrieking in heavily accented Chinese behind him was... unexpected.
yunxu stopped dead mid-lunge. he looked at the woman, utterly bewildered- too bewildered to feel particularly offended by the colorful curse she followed up with- and retreated from his attacker with bared teeth and flattened ears, glancing warily between both of them.
"那個聲音," he panted. "你聽見了嗎?" his hackles bristled, as much as they could, and he turned his sea-blue stare on the man- another wolf, he could see and smell now, without the terror to blind him. his leg and muzzle throbbed. "是你嗎? 為什麼追我?" yunxu demanded, feeling bolder than he should with the presence of another who spoke his tongue, no matter how accented.
