Amalia
She's flying through the air like an enormous squirrel, and damn, it feels kind of powerful. She lands a bit more forward than she expects, her claws clutching onto neck rather than shoulders, large antlers pressing to her chest - and then he's bucking, and her unsteady balances causes her to fall, tumbling over Ronin's huge rack to land upon the ground.
On her feet, of course. She's still a cat.
There's a feral grin which quickly fades as the Shield looks back at Ronin, catching his unbridled anger, the way his usually warm blue eyes have flattened to a glare. Alarm and confusion flicker through her own felid face, and then a frown, and before she can say anything he's lunging forward, half man and half stag and all raw, animalistic strength.
Amalia reacts on instinct, leaping towards his approaching form, her forelegs outstretched, claws carefully sheathed. They meet in a demented sort of hug, the leopard's forelegs trying to wrap around his waist or shoulders, her fur an easy thing for Ronin to grab. And even though she's still uncertain, something in it feels right. She clings to him as he throws her back down, determined to take him with her, to roll and pin him beneath a broad paw and dare him to fight his way out of her grasp.
