Eclipse felt the ground under his claws give a bit as he landed in the soft forest dirt and heard the faint whimper come from the NightWing as he got closer. He felt slightly bad at having caused her to get injured in the fall, but since that his intent in the first place was to get her on the ground he supposed it counted as a success. He took a step closer even as she bared her teeth at him and flared her wings. He was much bigger than she was, but he knew never to underestimate an opponent no matter how unassuming they might be.

He flared his own wings, the moonlight coming through the canopy catching on the galaxy-like patterns on their underside. He raised his neck up and bared his teeth in a low snarl. A snarl that almost turned into a snort at her stuttering attempt at a threat. [color=ed1c24][b]"My mother is a NightWing and she doesn't have any powers like that."[/b][/color] He didn't let his guard down but looked over her closely. He had no idea what an assassin might even look like.

He narrowed his eyes, tail twitching nervously, [color=ed1c24][b]"Why were you around the palace so late?"[/b][/color] he felt a growl building up in his chest, [color=ed1c24][b]"Were you responsible for the death of the Queen? Trying to come and kill another one of us?"[/b][/color] His tail went from twitching to lashing at the thought of standing in front of the one who killed his aunt. His claws dug into the ground and he prepared himself to lunge forward at even the slightest move from the NightWing.
