Thaler had no intention of letting go, the elbow to her body was painful but for all the fury the wild thing had Thaler could match with her own frustrations and so she held on. A backwards headbutt was obvious to even the blind so she kept her head turned and close to the aggressors back, it still connected, it still hurt but Thaler was holding on. [i]It was supposed to be an easy job, get a few trinkets, sell them, go home.[/i] She thought to herself while tightening both her legs and arms as much as she feasibly could. [i]I should be at home, having that guard cook for me and making conversation about our day.[/i] The creature tried loosening her arm with her nails and Thaler winced and fought the pain to keep the choke hold in place, she'd regret all this later of course but for now she was just as determined as the feral beast. 

Of course had she done the job and gone, had things run smoothly she would never have met Olan, Jaelnec or Aemoten and that would indeed be a sad thing but she could not help but feel nostalgic for the simpler days of a single week ago. The creature threw herself backward and Thalers leg grip loosened as her back was jarred in the dirt. She cried out but she kept her arms as tight as she could. Had it been any other day the beast may well have easily dislodged the daywalker but unluckily for Angora, Thaler had reached her limit and the same blind fury that spurred on the attacker, spurred on Thaler. 

While she vaguely heard some motion somewhere nearby, Thaler's attentions were focused completely on the task at hand, she was listening intently to the ragged breaths, the heartbeat beneath her grip. Thaler had choked people out before, she'd been very careful to let go before it had become too deadly for the victim. That wasn't why she was listening to the heartbeat this time. She had made the beast a promise and she fully intended to fill it. Until there was nothing but silence in her ears Thaler had no intention of letting go. The only way to completely ensure that this thing was no longer a threat, was to kill it.
