[ more than a bear, it's just like the monsters back at home.
when the saliva is flung in his direction, he gives a brief wince. barely evading some from slipping down his forehead and into his eyes. looks like the first thing on the tdl tonight was a bath, he thinks. but, he barely has time to settle into his thoughts as the person riding it seems equally aggressive.
it's clear he's desperate to escape, and that feeling of being backed into a corner makes him all the more likely to take extremes. vane is relieved when he hears the arrow meet with the sound of metal. as he thought, takasugi is skilled. he gives a brief smile, before he confidently breaches the distance between the creature and them. he's used to taking blows head-on and so he angles his spear to parry the set of claws.
it scratches his shoulder (granted, it's mostly just grazed him), but vane seems to recover quickly enough. bringing up the end of his spear, he angles it to hit the beast in the eye, then the snout. it's a firm enough blow that the creature reels back. the man with the crossbow is set off-balance.
if they were going to capture him, now might have been good. ] Taka!! [ now's the time, right?
while vane didn't like the idea of needless violence, there's always something nice about fighting with someone back to back. ]
