The creature needed to get back to its many feet after being tossed like that, treated like it was just pure scum. Feeling quite angry at Viral for finding its hiding place it seemed that would have to wait as Yumi came running at it now that its location had been revealed. Hissing in anger as she closed in it raised a wall to guard itself only for her to move around it and slam a kick into its back, sending it back to the ground with a hard thump. It was way too vulnerable now that it was out of its hiding place and what was worse was it probably wouldn’t be able to recover from this. As the flames on its head flickered briefly it soon noticed how close Viral was getting to the pair, its eyes on him only briefly before it lowered its head again. The kick had certainly worked to disorientate it but with the threat of Viral looming over it was a case of either dying to him or pretending to be dead and hoping it didn’t meet that fate too.

Viral had since climbed out of the tunnel he had created and was soon wandering towards Yumi and the creature, paying no heed to the attacks the creature had been conducting and Yumi’s retaliation. There was no reason for him to be intimidated by those movements, he was the one who was in control here and remaining in control was how he was going to stay. Hissing through his teeth he stared at Yumi, not taking notice of the creature that was now back on the ground. She was the one who bled, the one with the strongest scent and even though he held a grudge against the creature it wasn’t moving anymore. Soon snarling at her he made a heavy lunge at her, swiping his claws at her before throwing himself forward to bite at her, his foot standing on the creature’s back to get to her.
