They knew they had to escape, they had to continue running.
Not only for their dead comerade but also to spite their comerade's assailant.
Running on their four legs while being filled with fear, trepidation and yet filled with anger at the fact that they had to run away from the hand's, from the fate of being killed by their comerade's assailant.
This filled the two escaping panthers with so much anger that they felt like just turning back.
And fighting it all out with the creature, the intruder that had killed their comerade.
But they knew performing such an act was in itself an act of stupidity, even a mad and reckless being wouldn't do or perform such a stupid act.
As they knew they stood no chance against the weird creature that had killed their comerade.
Aven could perceive and feel all the emotions felt by them, so of course he knew and perceived the entirety of the feelings they had for him.
He only scoffed at all this.
