"I like to think that I make it clear where my boarder lies, raptor!" The Tyrannosaur rumbled irritabley, revealing itself to be an old female. Numerous scars run across her body from a life time of fighting and protecting her territory. "Tearing down trees..." Aircrest barked inbetween breaths. "...I took it as a cry for attention"
"Stop and take a look at these marks across my flank and its blatantly obvious I get my fair share of 'attention'." The Tyrannosaur snorted. "No thanks!" Aircrest growled, jumping over a fallen log. "I rather like living!"
"Tempting fate like this is a plea for death, raptor!" The elder Rex boomed. "Not so damn loud!" Aircrest screeched in response, looking back for a split second to see his pursuer's face. The Tyrannosaur had deep brown eyes that made Aircrest think of Hazel, suprisingly. He didnt expect to pull a likeness of his sister from something that wanted to kill him. But then again, he hasnt expected most things in his lifetime. "And the fact of the matter is, sh*t like this is a part of my life" He added a short moment later, pushing the thoughts out of his head. "Oh? Is that so? Well, perhaps this is where that life ends" The dark gray Rex growled, lowering herself and swinging her massive head about, jaws open. Aircrest saw the giant's head coming from the corner of his eye and instinctively turned away, speeding off at a diagonal and hearing the Rex's jaws snap shut behind him. "Looks like you were wrong, there!" Aircrest barked. "Care for another try!?" He continued looking back at the T-rex. He then let his mouth hang open, flapping his tongue at the giant. She glared at him and snarled "You know not how serious this is, do you?!" Aircrest hissed "Ive been doing this for years, Tyrannosaur, I know all too well what the risks are. And, damn it, its what makes this fun!" He turned his head about. The branches in this area were still intact. Aircrest smirked and sprung up onto one, before shooting off onto another and another, heading high into the canopy and out of the Rex's reach. The tremors slowed until it was clear the Rex was simply standing below, looking up into the leaves. She let out a frustrated roar before ramming the tree bark. The tree shuddered and leaves rained down. The impact almost dislodged Aircrest from his perch high above, his claws dug into the timber. Though the branches higher up werent as thick and strong as the lower ones, they were the branches out of range of the Tyrannosaur's jaws. Stealthily, Aircrest shifted through the leaves, careful as to not make any noise, slipping into another tree while the giant's attention was fixed on the other one. He then made a hasty retreat, his heart still pumping from the encounter...
