Loccy sprang up beside the closing foot as Hajin snagged Toby's collar with his left hand and hauled him backward. Her sandal kissed a branch outside the talon's stroke, and she twisted above the wing smothering their whole crowded ridge.
The bird's own plunging weight was about to land right underneath her swing.
Two Wings flared through the fog, and the second gathered its insignia between her small palms into a widening hammer. The first steadied her turn as she caught the haft above the raptor's back before its wings could snap outward.

"Down!" Loccy shrieked, bringing the hammer across its spine while Hajin dragged Toby clear of the closing claws.
"Move your feet, kid, I've only got one working arm and it's busy!"
'Holy shit, that's my little hare dropping the whole damn sky on it.'
