[The worst part about a fight with Keith is that outside of his lion, he hasn't quite managed teamwork. He's had a few scenarios where it's worked out with him, but their actions were decidedly separate. One of those poisoned tips do get close to his face, but his mask drops just in time to stop it, forcing him to stumble back awkwardly and nearly lose his footing.
With a grunt, he plunges on, his safety in that situation granting him new-found adrenaline as he drives forward, cutting toward the dog ahead. He manages to leap up and force it to collide with the ground. It's a success, all in all, and he pants, turning ...
... and only then seeing what's happening behind him. At least the dog is destroyed, but it doesn't look like it happened without any casualty on this end. He casts a wary glance in the direction of the refinery doors and then back to her.]
What happened? [After a beat, he kneels closer. In the back of his mind, he wonders if he could have noticed this.
Probably. If he had been paying attention? Probably.]
no problem - I hope you're feeling better!
