The raven cawed angrily, wings fluttering angrily as he hopped to a higher branch. His eyes narrowed, glaring at the purple pup. I am not afraid of you, you noisy mutt! Back off or you'll find out a raven has a sharp beak and talons! Oh, he was weak was he? I'll show you weak!
If Judeau could have growled as a raven, he would have, the sound instead coming out as a gutteral caw. Angrily, the raven turned toward the branch above him, snapping it from the tree with a powerful peak, throwing at the pup below. Take that!
A huff, an angry flap of his wings, Judeau settled back in his tree, perching on a branch far out of reach. A last glare at the jackal before his gaze settled on the dark cub.
"Perhaps I have."
You have no idea, and he was not going to tell.
"What do you want?"
Grumpy Judeau is grumpy!

The raven scoffed, the glare of death level on the jackal pup. Just try it, mutt, I'll claw your eyes out! In his true form, Judea was small among gods, perhaps even smaller than mortals born of the stormborn pride, but you will find this raven will not go down so easily!
"Far larger creatures have tried and failed."
Twice a mortal lion had tried to murder him, both had failed, though one had nearly succeeded, a jackal was the least of his worries (not that he was going to turn his back on the vicious little mutt!). Cute? Most definitely not.
"They cannot fly either, though it might be amusing to watch him try."
There was a cliff nearby to jump off, go try that.

A piercing caw, Judeau spread his tattered wings to their full span, propelling him from his perch, a powerful beat holding him airborne. There was fury in his gaze, as if something had snapped and a sudden surge of anger, rage, hurt, and everything that had been building him him sudden broke free.
In his fury, the raven down straight for the jackal pup, a flurry of feathers, powerful beak, and sharp talons. He pecked at the jackal's ears, talons reaching for his purple hide, digging in to the scruff at his neck.
"Let's see how well you fly."
The pup would find his paws lifted from the ground, powerful wingbeats carrying raven and jackal aloft. You thought he was just some weak little bird did you? You're about to find out the hard way he was not!
Judeau may have thought for a brief moment of dropping the jackal from the nearby cliffs, but even in his fury, the god of penance was not, nor would he ever be, one to take a life. He would however drop the jackal from several feet in the air, high enough to knock the air completely from his lungs and make him think twice next time.

Judeau nodded in satisfaction, that is what you get for underestimating this raven, mutt! The raven might have felt just a little proud of himself, feeling the confidence that had once been shattered by others beginning to return. Even if the pup was far smaller than his last attacker, it was a step.
"I do not take life needlessly."
A last glare at the jackal, Judeau returned to the sky. He was so done with this s**t, and the jackal was no longer worth his attention or thought. But maybe from now on, the little mutt would think twice before bothering him.
Turning, the raven flew off, wings carrying him far away from mutt and cub. It was about time he tracked down Ciro, surely he must be done with whatever rendezvous he had taken by now.
