[Have a kim wandering along, taking notes on her little touchscreen handheld. Ttly oblivious.]

[Nails clicking on the floor would be the only thing to alert Kimiko, were she paying any kind of attention. The Wolf sees her ahead and takes off at a full run, his claws skittering for leverage to make it up to speed.

Bennett wants to close his eyes, wants to look away and not see, but he can't, he has no control over anything-- that in and of itself is torture.

There's a loud, eager bark as the Wolf launches itself and bites into the back of Kimiko's neck, just to hold her down-- its not aiming to break anything, it's barely aiming to tear the skin right now.]

[autodidacticone]

[But Kimiko hears that and her head comes up. She's not quick enough- teeth meet neck and the plastic-coated subcutaneous wire is breached by an errant fang.

Instantly, half of Kimiko's vision goes black as the power to her cybernetic eye dies and a bolt of electricity arcs between the open contacts in a brilliant display of power, delivering an intense shock to both wolf and victim.]

[The wolf is thrown back, and it struggles to gain its footing again. Bennett blacks out for a split second, but the wolf is conscious-- and it's not going to stand for that, not from prey. It splits, running back down the hall it came from. It knows when it's met something stronger than it.]
