He paid the searing pain in his ear no attention as he gave the mutt one final shake before releasing his grip, lips still curled into a snarl. Once the shadow and the newcomer were done here Greer would seek out medical attention from Lorcán, but right now he had much more important matters to attend to. Losing a meal to a couple of vermin was not something he wanted to explain to his sister and the silver spider. Just as he spun on his heels to flash his teeth at the remaining coyotes his partner in crime beat him to it. Greer offered his own fangs as a threat to the lingering scavengers as he lurched forward, the fur on his back bristling. One had retreated quickly, tail tucked and thin legs moving frantically over the frozen ground. The other tried fighting back but was unsuccessful and met with Alastor’s teeth.
As the final coyote bounded away, blood dripping from a cut on its cheek, Greer’s shoulders sagged in relief. His injured ear twitched as he turned to the carcass they had won, and the two fallen mutts. He flashed his partner a cheeky grin, his tail hanging low as it gave a soft wag. There was certainly enough for the both of them to fill their stomachs and bring some back to the monadnock. The newcomer proved to be a worthy asset—Greer would be sure to let his sister now that he approved of the addition.
