Nikita's massive paws swung like pendulums, dangerous and vast, claws outstretched. But the ginger warrior was quicker, ducking behind him to yank at his tail. Normally, the loner would let out a hearty laugh and make quick work of the scrap, but his leg had other plans. Buckling underneath his frame, Nikita rolled onto his old wound, tearing at the healing flesh. "Ratdung!" He spat, hissing in pain. Nikita only glared at the forest cat who had bested him. His stubbornness would not allow him to submit, nor would it allow him to admit defeat. He wanted his mouse and he wanted his title. Nikita the terror. But Nikita the terror was in terrible pain. "Vine! Take ze mouse if it is so important! I didn't vant it anyway!" Nikita's green eyes were slits as he glared at the she-cat with spite, tail lashing. Waves of pain coursed through his injured leg, and the tom felt foreboding. He was aging.
Nikita is no longer stunned.
