[ The warning shout causes Claude to spin in place, dexterity gained from years of dodging beasts and people bigger, faster, and stronger than him put to the test. He lunges to the size right as a ferocious set of teeth snaps at the air where he'd been a split second ago. No time to even pause and swear; he dodges the next attempt it makes to latch onto his arm with another spin and cuts back towards a tree. The trunk of it prevents the Ceknias from charging him outright, and gives just enough of a lull for him to launch another arrow at its leg.
With a screech it kneels and he backs up quickly with a quick look over his shoulder. The other man seems in one piece, which is good, and there's not another Ceknias gaining on him or lurking in the underbrush. Then again - it's not like Claude knew one was gaining on him, had it not been for that warning. He turns back to the one that'd attempted to attack him and sets another arrow in flight. One down, and something their hosts will appreciate receiving.
Now he makes his way over to where the other felled Ceknias is in the clearing, this time with the wariness warranted of not being caught off guard by another attack like he should've had before. Live and learn, though Claude's also careful to check behind both of them for good measure as he comes to a halt. Just in case. ]
You all good over here? [ Aimed at Kyle now that some of that commotion has evened out, though he readies another shot for the Ceknias before them as he eyes the status of this one. ]
