let me know if tiberius has entered too soon. here to help save olive and maybe lose an ear/part of his tail along the way LMAO
He was straying further and further away from the immediate grounds that surrounded Shiroshika's borders. Whether it was to clear his head, be alone or to perhaps find someone worth his time to recruit, he couldn't say. Yet today was a day that he would be glad he had strayed as far as he had, because on the icy Tundra wind carried a scent that warmed his spine and another that made his nose twitch with familiarity but it was the third scent that had his golden depths narrowing in caution. It was no wolf scent, nor the scent of the familiar feline but it was prey. Prey that was also a predator, Tiberius noted. Whether it was his fondness for two and his favouritism of one or the protective instinct that roared to life that sent him springing forward across the snow, it didn't matter. All he knew was the scents on the wind and he swore he could hear the voices rattling on the wind.
The titan could not be sure as to where he stood with Olive or what they stood for but he knew even if they did not stand more, he thought highly and warmly of her -- he would come to her call even if she was not calling for him. The dainty fairy was there, too, her scent strong with Olive's and the beast that lingered and he wondered what kind of nightmare that they had found themselves living on this day. He did not often feel fear. Fear was something he had learned to both bury and hardly feel. Now, though, he felt it tingling at the edges of his subconscious. It pushed him further, quicker and with more intent as his molten gaze caught sight of the scene on the frozen ground.
Olive lay as the great beasts target, stopping short in her slide only a foot from the water. The water that could take her from him as easily as those tusks could. @
Riannon had attacked the beast with everything she could, aiming to save her follower and Tiberius surged forward with a roar of her name, "@
Olive!" In his throat his heart would beat, hammer like a war drum as he side-stepped Ri with a tentative touch of his tail to her flank, not having enough time to stop for a chat or game plan as he joined the fray, furious and unwilling to relent until the great beast was distracted and off of Olive's trail. They could give her time to get away and though he did not doubt Riannon's prowess, he would sooner her get Olive and escape whilst he kept the beast entertained.
The tusks were long and Tiberius thought that they would be an easier part to evade so long as the walrus was not given a chance to rear up too far to snag one of them in his grip and so long as the beast did not move quickly -- with all that great fat, Tiberius doubted he could do anything overly fast -- he would launch his own attack. If he would manage to latch onto the meat of the Walrus' shoulder, Tiberius would feel just how thick the wall of flesh truly was, be it flubber or heaps of skin, he didn't know, but he did know it was thick and likely this was a fight that they would not win with just two of them. Regardless, the titan threw himself into the all of it and would aim to distract the Walrus with Ri and grab at his shoulder.
He had thought that perhaps the top near the skull would be an easier place to sink his teeth into but for the moment whilst Olive was still in range of the beasts tusks and flubber, Tiberius would do as he already was. ^^
