His erstwhile companion finished with his first foe and turned to the squash Jigano had temporarily felled, making sure it couldn’t rise again. More, he managed to take out two of the smaller ones along with it, though orange pulp splattered one of the fox’s forelegs before he could dance back. He was slowing down, the last lunge having taken much of his remaining energy, and he shook himself off with a tired sigh as the adrenaline faded with the defeat of the biggest foes.
The final pumpkin, fearless and determined to continue its reign of terror, began rolling towards them once more. Jigano gave it a perfunctory growl and then limped over to Rory, looking up at him with limpid blue eyes. The blond man looked tired, as worn down as the fox was, if not more so. He had been scampering and playing, but the human had been swinging his heavy weapon, stabbing and smashing the pumpkins to pulp. Perking white ears forward, Jigano gave a hopeful whine, glancing back at the last gourd as it picked up speed, cackling as it came.
The fox slipped between Rory’s legs, taking shelter behind his ‘base’ one last time and giving the other man an encouraging bark to slay their final challenger.
