[He isn't really trying to strangle her so much as hold her down, but she doesn't struggle at all and it makes his interest wane a bit. She was a threat to his territory but now she's just a... prop. Albeit a delicious one if his nose is working correctly...
It's her touch that startles him. He doesn't let go, just acts reflexively to bite into the fleshy palm of her hand.
Oh.
Oh.
Something about the tang of blood wakes him up almost instantly, his eyes widening, ruffled feathers receding slightly. But before he can register anything else he pulls back with a snarl, leaves her hand a bloody mess that needs stitches but otherwise intact.
He's scared. Scared and hurting, like she said. And now he wants to throw up, reviled and stricken as he is. This can't be happening. It-- it can't--
He hurls himself backwards, still with some blood on his chin, and he scampers for the nearest wall so he can climb it and run. She might be able to catch him with some quick thinking, but it might also be good to let the others know what's happened and where he's headed.]
