Desmond turned into Nazia as she closed on him, but the impact of her colliding with him took them both to the ground in a twisting ball of snapping jaws and raking claws.
Desmond had size and weight on his side though as he sought to bodily overpower Nazia to the ground where she would be at the mercy of his powerful jaws.
Meanwhile around the front of the building, Jacques was caught up in his own scuffle with Sasha. His fangs ravaged Sasha's arm but he remained exposed to her own retaliations.
His fur protected him from the brunt of her claws, but a particularly vicious rake of them down his face forced him back from her with a low growl.
Blood ran from the wound, partially blinding him in one eye as he faced off against Sasha, more than ready to tangle with her once more should she persist in the confrontation - but equally ready to let her turn tail and run if it meant he could reach those out back of the Den sooner rather than later.
