That was better. She turned, circling around her oppoenent for a moment as she considered her angle of attack. He was looking ragged... she wanted to end this!

She would never live it down if they managed to pull one over on her-- especially not since she'd been the one to seek this conflict out. She had to make her family proud! She had to make herself proud.

She was feeling weary-- he was definitely more of a challenge than the spider had been-- but she could see this through. She would see this through, no matter the cost.

Just a little more! She just had to keep holding on, just a little more. She could be done with this!

There. That was it. He finally capitulated, giving her the stolen goods, and letting her return sore but proud.

[imgright]https://matope.pixel-blueberry.com/imag ... uncert.png[/imgright] This time, Worthy planned on taking it easy. Helping guide a lost Zikwa sounded peaceful enough, and while she'd had enough time for the pain of her injuries to abate, it hadn't been so long that she was looking for a taste of violence.

Needless to say, she was just as startled as the Zikwa when they turned on her, lashing out with a kick she was able to dodge. She lowered her head and charged in, hoping a solid movement would stun the Zik into calming down- or at least making enough of a dent they'd pause to listen.

FFFF-- that should be "The Zikwa".

Adding insult to injury, apparently the Zikwa's friend wasn't okay with her attacking them! She cursed quietly as it nipped at her, ineffective but painful nonetheless.

She didn't feel very valiant... or very worthy, not when she was beating on someone who she had been asked to help. But she wouldn't let anyone defeat her!

If she just got a couple more solid blows in, this would all be over. She cursed, charging forward again when the bat gave her an opening.

Worthy: 11/50 (the bat wasn't defeated....)

...there. It was done. She watched sympathetically as the Zikwa cowered back, giving them a few moments with their bat before speaking up again. "I really wasn't lying... you've got friends looking for you. Now how about we get you back to them?"

[imgright]https://matope.pixel-blueberry.com/imag ... uncert.png[/imgright] Spiders were one thing. Thieves were another. And Worthy really couldn't blame the Zikwa after they'd had the chance to apologize to her-- they were used to being bullied and had understandably lashed out. Even their bat was blameless, looking only to protect its loved one. But liars... liars were the one thing that Worthy couldn't stand. If there was anything in this world she hated, it was a coward, a sore loser, who tried to revise the truth to better suit them... and she had been asked to help protect the virtue of another by giving this kiokote a hard-earned lesson.

"You've been spreading nasty rumours," she called out, "and it has to stop!"
