You gotta understand this from his perspective, when he saw a messy young teen girl running terrified past him, being chased by the same axe wielding outcast riding a giant serpentine dragon covered in spikes and with a mouth like a death worm, Alarm bells were ringing.

He had just been doing some more reading, imagining the experiences that were written before him. Reading about the day Rogue the Rage successful set a trap that fooled a strike class Thrasher Tip and when he lead a group to defeat a Serpent Steamer with a minimal of five casualties. He was directly in the middle of the chapter in which he is talking about hunting the Bone Clutter when he heard the scream.

When he looked up, he saw the messy girl, wild looking fella, and she was running for her life. He wasn't particularly alarmed at this point, as he was still processing the sight. It soon however, quickly snapped into place and he leaned forward from his rested position in slight shock. That was when the massive Whispering Death broke out the forest line, with an all too familiar blondie mounted on its shoulders. They made eye contact for a brief moment, she probably didn't process or think about his shocked expression at all. Because from where he was standing, all he could see was someone was about to die.

He snapped into action, he jumped up and grabbed a rope. He turned to the water and jumped right in, with only a second of hesitation due to the freezing temperature that was bound to consume him. But the gravity of suddenly stopped when on a river bank forced him to jump in anyway. Within the minute, with a few ripples here and there and a wing and tail tip splashing the water around, he and his loyal companion burst from the water. With the rope tied firmly around Snapwrist's top jaw and inner mouth before coming back to Nackfists hands as reins. It wasn't a very good system, but in all honestly, it was all he had time to do. By the time he'd be able to put a saddle on the beast, the girls would have likely been caught and who knows what would come next. Likely death. Overall, he definitely underestimated this Grimborn girl, she actually surrendered to his mercy before, when she could have just gone and retrieved her giant death snake and annihilated him and his mount. Maybe that was what she was coming to do before this other girl showed up? Who knows?

She may have played the aggressive but innocent game, and it seemed as though Nackfist was fooled by it. Because whether it was true or not, there wasn't a speck of doubt in his mind that Ar Grimborn was out for blood.

The black haired girl was cornered on the cliff edge, standing in a wild defensive position. Everything was happening so fast, there were many aspects of the whole ordeal he didn't get to think about, since the only thing that was going through his head was defending this teenager from the dangerous slightly older teen girl cornering her. They were moving so fast in that they caught none of what was being said other than the expressions confusion and terror on the corned girls face. They landed directly between them, Nackfist dismounting with a roll and getting into a body blocking position in front of the wild child with his mace ready for action. Snapwrist was already in position, slightly behind him to his side, also standing protectively in front of the black haired girl.

"NO NO NO, NOT ON MY WATCH" Nackfist yelled out immediately, readying for a battle he would likely loose. He turned his head sideways slightly to the girl behind him and nodded at her, sympathy glowing in his eyes. And then saying in a soft tone, not expecting that she wouldn't understand much of it "we got you, be ready to run" he quickly turned back to Ar, not seeing the wild child's reaction. Snapwrist also did a semi comforting hum to her, having said a simple "We protect". The dragon hadn't said it expecting that the girl understood it.
