Once the wolves seemed to pause their pursuit of the deer, Misaki took a moment to wrack her brains in order to come up with something—anything—to get them to drop their chase. The only thing that came to mind immediately, after all, was to refuse to back down. Running away would be tantamount to suicide against predators—even she knew that much.

And so, instead of backing away as the two seemed to attempt to pincer her, the foxgirl straightened her posture and allowed her ears and tail to stand on end in an attempt to look larger before swinging in their general direction. As things turned out, that action seemed to buy her just enough time to properly consider her options beyond what she was doing now.

The ultimate conclusion to that, of course, was to attempt to continue to scare off the wolves. Ideally, this would be resolved without any fighting on either side, but who knew if the wildlife here were more aggressive than the ones back on Earth tended to be.

Hopefully she wouldn't have to find out how good she was at fighting quite yet.
