Fortunately, the situation didn't escalate any further than that. Two young girls rushed through the crowd, one hurriedly urging the masses to scatter while the other calmed everyone down. In less than ten minutes, everything was taken care of.
"I'm sorry for what happened, sir."
Eleen apologized as she wrapped bandages around Taylor's bitten hand. Such wounds usually shouldn't pose much problem, but Lior's teeth had dug way too deep into the flesh and he'd even gnawed on the meat as if to rip it apart, so the cuts were fairly severe.
"No, I should be the one to apologize."
The man scanned his bandaged arm with interest while humbly expressing his regrets.
"I only acted because I thought a wild beast had found its way to the city due to the harsh weather... Such things happen a lot during winter and cause quite a great deal of trouble so I... I didn't know it might be your pet. I'm sincerely sorry."
