Fallen from battle and weak-willed. She was hardly in any state to run off to safety. Who did she think she was? Trying to take a rather large monster by herself when it had caught her by surprise? Was it to protect him? Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. Despite her being a complete stranger, Repede couldn’t leave her alone to be this monster’s dinner, even if she wished for him to leave. No, he charged right in, dagger between his teeth as he ran at lightning speed towards the giant crab-like monster.
Repede jumps, spiraling right into one of it’s pincers, the monster screeching as he keeps this up in repetition. It tries to crush him between it’s claws, but with Repede’s incredible speed, he manages to avoid it’s vice-grip. He keeps up his attack until one of it’s claws falls straight off, causing the monster to cry in pain. Thrashing about, and snapping it’s remaining claw wildly.
His plan was not to defeat it, but to beat at it until he scares it off or if it has had enough of his beating. The monster is enraged. It’s attacks more violent. Repede does not come out unscathed this time. He gains a few cuts and bruises as he runs around the monster’s legs, slashing at them to try and pry them off, or slow it down so it wouldn’t be able to move as quickly.
With his speed and quick slices, the crab-like monster has had enough and starts making it’s way to leave them alone. Repede lets out some aggressive barks, to make it known that it should never come back to mess with them, but after the monster was on it’s way, Repede rushed back to Tear, checking if she was okay. He probably surprised her with his ability to fight. It’s not everyday you see an animal be able to fight with a weapon.
“Woooo….” She really was not in the best condition, so he pulls out a gel from his dagger’s sheath and offers it to her. Trying his best not to get it too slobbery.
♫ SEARING PAIN RIPS THROUGH her forearm , and blood drips sore from the gaping gash . With gratitude gracing her brilliant hues , she nods her thanks to her faithful companion and receives the gel into her own gloved hands . As she consumes the gummi and gives it time to melt on her tongue , the songstress removes the glove from her injured arm and with her dominant hand she heals it entirely , all at the expense of her strength and artes .
With the back of her milky digits , she wipes away the budding perspiration from her brow . It is the subtle smile that softens her expression as she rests her hand upon the canine’s crown . He is , indeed , one of the cutest critters she’s ever laid her eyes upon . But he’s deadlier than most , and she’s left in awe and wonder of his great strength .
❝ Why did you help me ?? Surely , you must belong to some other human , right ?? ❞
