Bennett figures it out when the cat starts hissing more abuse. Odd that an articulate creature would still be so... animal in its behavior. Mindless drive to hunt is going to be easy to counter with a bit more level-headed intelligence.

Or, at least, a little agility.

The leopard closes in, and Ben, again, leaps up and into the attack, countering from below. Claws catch him in the shoulder, but Ben's got his jaws around Alex's throat. He bites into the cat's leathery flesh and the two go toppling end over end, crashing into another wall. Ben absolutely refuses to let go.
