[Mikah Miller]

"AHH-! IDIOTA!!"
growls bellow from the oversized rodent as Denzel's sharpened teeth dug into Mitch's arm.

Mikah aims to throw himself on Denzel's back, jumping off his horse to grab and yank the hair of the feral and all while Mitch was prying open the rodent's jaw
"D-DENZEL-! KNOCK IT OFF BEFORE YOU GET HURT!"
the feline putting the other in a head lock and applying pressure to the jugular to cut off his air supply but after the first choke for air, Denzel let Mitch's arm go, glaring at him intensely as he stood up and attempted to pull the feline's arms off of him.

"No-No, go to sleep, enough is enough..."
The feline's sudden burst in strength was applied to his arms as a light kick is thrown behind Denzel's knee, knocking him off balance, brutally choking the savage until he would seemingly relax and then fall unconscious.

Mikah of course loosened his grip a smidge just before Denzel went to sleep but soon after his hold then completely changes into a gentle one as he holds the other by the waist, laying him down on the grass before taking a seat himself.

"Eh..haa- what's that bite look like?"
Mikah asked while looking over at Mitch who was already pouring water on the wound
"You-heheh would think I'd be more concerned...considering what I seen that bite do to others"

"Care to elaborate so I'm not surprised like this?"
Mikah glanced over at Denzel, his body had undergone a physical change after going into this feral state. His muscle mass had been doubled-as if he needed the extra strength-teeth were sharper, hair seemed more untamed and wild and his eyes were different, they're his eyes natural colors but a tint of yellow in the center. His strikes and blows were powerful and they were enough to send him and Mitch airborne for a few seconds but that's more than enough force to keep anyone away...it felt like he had more than that in him but he was hesitant-like he was more focused on escape. Doesn't quite explain his reasoning for being hyper aggressive with Mitch, taking in the fact that if Mikah hadn't directly interfered then Denzel might've just ignored him.

"Denzel was most likely experimented on differently -Eh can't say for sure..BUT I know that he was very much a prize to the leaders"
Mitch grins- pointing at the appearance of his friend
"That, amigo, is how he looked when I first saw him...it was from uh-even scarier experiment. Some looney that guzzled down too much of those crazies bullshit and took great pleasure in the "gifts" he got from the serum, was even gonna teach Denzel to learn to think the same..."
Mitch continued with a softer tone as he remembered events
"Denzel's serum must've been different and was probably replicated...if not then no doubt they'll send that scary bastardo to collect him"
The canine takes one look at the rodent and chuckles
"Imagino~ they'd find something this monstrous inside a chipmunk-it's actually hilariously scary eh?"

Mikah rolls his eyes and gets up to go help Mitch wrap his wound, grabbing the bandage wraps from the hyena's hand.
"How many of us have you rescued like this?"

"Only you two- well.... I mean..suppose I might've gave everyone a chance for freedom during the confusion but I went in for Denzel"
Mitch holds his arm out as the cat begins to wrap it, while carrying on what he was saying
"Simply put, Gato, he was the strongest from what I seen, I watched a great deal of his fights, nothing short of entertaining-"

"W-Who did he fight?"
Mikah interrupted, looking apologetic for doing so but was interested in the details

Mitch chuckles
"Of course, I'll just name them all- so I'll go in order here uuuh.. so there was the elk, mongoose, brown rat, raccoon, some snake-can't remember the species, there was a fox, hairless cat, bat, and what made me realize that I needed to save him was his fight with a black bear"
