With her posturing showing at least some results, Misaki took another wary step forward towards the pair of canines ready to pounce onto her. They seemed to be at least somewhat pensive about going on the immediate offensive, but until they backed off completely, the foxgirl was left with no real choices beyond continuing as she was now.

Would that she had been so lucky, though. While something like this might have worked against animals who were naturally more wary of humans, the pair in front of her seemed more like starved beasts—which, now that she thought about it in the moments as one of them leaped towards her, would have explained their apparent desire to go on the offensive.

Well, that or they simply called her bluff. For the sake of her sanity, she hoped it was the latter.

Though not caught off guard by the leap towards her, the foxgirl let out a slight gasp before raising the makeshift pole horizontally, only barely catching the wolf at arm's length between its neck and front limbs. With a shout, she lowered her posture and swung horizontally with all her might soon thereafter; whether it launched the canine into the woods or against a tree, she could really care less about right now. Regardless of what the outcome of [i]that[/i] was, though, Misaki attempted to reposition herself between the other wolf and the deer, weapon at the ready. A preemptive assault against the tired predator was possible, of course, but doing so wouldn't sit quite right with her.

"...Go find something else to hunt," she said, eyes narrowed as she pointed the pole at the wolf. "Leave us be."

She had no idea if it could understand her, of course, but it didn't hurt to try.
