Kini's instints warn him of the potential danger and he leaps sideways.

Falconi flies farther up, "We need to leave."

Strike nodded once in agreement.
The mongoose zipped pat Kini, sliding to a halt in the snow and swishing his tail.

Kini hisses at the mongooses, "This is not your fight so stay out of it."

The mongoose made a few signs with his hands in response, then rushed at Kini again.

Ganz glanced over the shelves,there was a lot of used books,but he didn't see any puzzles

The mongoose didn't respond, and ran in for anorher attack.

Kini tries to sidestep this attack as well.
"Are you sure this is the best you could get," Falconi asks.

"Beggars can't be choosers. But I think he said he was qualified." Strike responded.

"Let's hope so otherwise we're on the menu," Falconi looks to where Gobi was watching the two birds.
