*She spins to see Terak, blinks at Lixue's massive form outside, and stares as Terak shoots his brethen and vanishes. A slow grin curves her muzzle, and a wicked war-cry pierces the air. "HAH! At least one Vare' has a brain!" Dropping the stunned/unconscious/dead/smelly Hredit, she lunges at the nearest Vareshin, twisting her spine into a Koratian hunting pounce, specifically designed to bring down bipeds. Her spine vertical, her hind legs are bunched up, bringing the vicious claws into play. Forelegs are extended, ready to grip shoulders or chest in a fatal embrace while the powerful jaws either break the neck or rip out the victim's throat.*
