However, it wasn’t long before the haze that had fallen over his world began to dwindle away, his body loosening up and his breathing slowing down. As he looked down at the bite wound and electric burns on the dead human and acknowledged he had made those marks, measured pensive thoughts finally began to return to his mind. “Okay…” he exhaled deeply, the intense look in his wide eyes softening. “What just happened in the last five seconds? …”<br/><br/>Turning around, he took a few seconds to scan the battlefield. Alongside Brador, he spotted the equally-tattered body of the other human warrior lying in the dirt. Yes, he remembered that. Kahmori did that. In that regard, a scream from the side brought his attention to the kitsune as he jostled the female cleric, his tails and claw smoothly pinning her down and halting her movements. Even in his current lost mindset a smirk drew across his face upon seeing him heave her heavy form up so effortlessly, ready to make her little more than a snack in a tin can. As he looked on, he spotted one of the archers lying motionless on the ground nearby, and from the arrow in her chest he could tell it was the one he had shot earlier. But what had happened? Did she bleed out, or did Kahmori use some unknown kitsune ability to be in two places at once? And speaking of archers and shooting…<br/><br/>Ohhhh<span style="font-style: italic">SHIT</span>, this hurt…<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"Alexei!" she said, in a tone as if he'd just spilled wine on one of her best outfits. "You bit too hard! I wanted to eat that one!"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>The leopardess’s plaintive tone caught his ears, turning the wolf’s head towards her tiredly as he wondered if he had done something wrong. Even so, upon noticing the geniality behind her statement he managed to return a laugh and a smile, forced and painful, but a laugh and smile nonetheless. It was then Alexei recalled seeing Xali casting a spell as he charged, and upon glancing back at the downed archer he quickly put two and two together. She wasn’t dead. She was asleep. And if she was asleep, she was alive. And if she was alive… A pang on lusty hunger flared up amongst the excruciating pain coursing through him. The small flicker of his red tongue again trailed over his muzzle, although this time he also spat a few times to get out the taste of blood that came with it. However, past his multitude of feelings came a swift realization. There was only one, and as he peered around the leopardess the two of them seemed to notice the fleeing female at exactly the same time.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"If she gets away, I'm eating the blonde girl!"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>As Xali took off in pursuit of their last remaining target, the lupine stood back quietly and watched as she began to cast her next enchantment. It wasn’t really his style to simply wait and not aid his compatriots, but at the moment he wasn’t really in the position to do so. Glancing down at the five arrows poking from his frame, he gritted his teeth at the prospect of having to remove them and shook his head in disappointment. Alongside his agony was a cold sense of frustration on his part, and he wondered how he could’ve let himself get to beat up in what should’ve been a simple fight. Staring at the sleeping archer, a momentary lull broke his predatory hunger. Xali was a potent sorcerer, and odds were the last female wouldn’t be able to resist her magic for long. In the event she escaped, however, he would happily concede his would-be meal to the superior hunter of that encounter.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Alexei sheathes his bow and delays to see if the spell takes effect.</div></div></div>
