Fox heard the brief clash and the 'Ew' and... was surprisingly amused. It was short lived, though. There were two more Hyenas that Fox could see and one was charging at her full tilt. Would it try to lunge and bite or did it intend to try to get her with its horn?
Why the hell did Ivalice Hyenas have horns anyway?
The Hyena made as if to lunge and bite, but instead of biting, it swung its head down. Prepared for a bite, Fox had angled her sword so as to let the Hyena bite it, only to have it parried by the horn instead. Off balance, she was knocked away a few steps when the Hyena then swung its head to the side, almost knocking her sword from her hand. She was barely able to get her sword back up when the Hyena did lunge and bite this time. It's momentum was enough to knock her down, though it still wound up with a mouthful of sword.
It was risky, but a well place Fire spell could get the beast off. It could also attract an Elemental, but at least they might be able to out run that. With no time to really mull it over, Fox cast Fire right in the Hyena's face. As it recoiled, she plunged her blade into its chest, just under the throat.

Now where was that last Hyena?
