Bloodlust over takes you as the fighting instinct to defend your food kicks in. The man starts to drag himself to his feet, but you leap at him with a vicious snarl before he can do so. Your leaping growl turns into a yip of surprise as you feel yourself caught by the man and thrown away as he rolls and diverts your momentum past him, falling to the grass with a surprised squawk.
Shaking your head, you make your way to your feet and suddenly realize he's almost on top of you. You swipe with your claws but he easily ducks to the side and grabs your arm, yanking you close and wrapping an arm around your throat. Though you feel stronger and quicker than you ever did as a human, he's still a large man more than capable of restraining you in this state.
"Calm down missie..." he hisses into your ear. "I'm not going to hurt you if you stop struggling. Those berries are poisoned, trust me, I'm doing you a favour."
