Imos meanwhile had been thrown off in his aim when the warning about the red panthers came, whirling around he loosed the bio arrow into the pouncing maw of one of the beasts, killing it with surety but unfortunately not before being tackled off and stuck under the monster for a few precious seconds.<br/><br/>seconds which the other panther sought to take advantage of as it too leapt for him, only to be interrupted by a loud "KWEH!" and a kick from Imos' very own feathery companion, apparently the big bird was much less of a coward than the average untrained chocobo. as the panther landed roughly on the ground near Imos, he grabbed his dagger and quickly opened it's throat.<br/><br/>"thanks Taka, when we get back i'm getting you the best food i can."<br/><br/>getting back to his feet he once more took aim, not at the knight however, but rather at the inattentive creatures that were facing their backup. loosing arrows at the one attacking Piero.
