Baralai covered his face with his hand. He couldn't stand to watch if she fumbled. She was much too active for his own good and her energy was tiring. He parted his index finger to peek through to see if the beast was charging forward, and he was right.

His hand left his face and grabbed for his staff on his back. "Great, you just angered it instead." He stood up and readied himself for battle. The staff was tucked behind his back with his free arm bent in a ready position with two fingers extended upward that touched his forehead. He could already tell that this wasn't going to be an easy fight and watched the stampeding beast as it crushed the brush under its weight and forceful movements.

As it was about to lunge forwards, Baralai spun out the the way and swept the staff in a spin to land the weighted end on the back of its head. He continued the spin and turned the staff to create a shield around him through the momentum in case it doubled back.
