As the lizard-like creature whipped out of its hole to come after their scrap, the figure quickly reached for their belt and pulled out what very closely resembled a pistol of some sort. As it snapped towards their hand, they reached around with their hand holding the scrap, grabbed a hold of the creature, and brought the butt of their pistol towards the back of its head, taking care not to strike too hard that it would actually kill the creature - just to daze it long enough to get the phone back for Nines. As soon as their arm was around the creature's neck, it began to struggle, but they held fast and brought the pistol butt down, giving a firm thunk as it connected.
The lizard offered a surprised sound and went limp, the phone dropping from its tail as the shock reverberated through its body. She released it after that and tossed the scrap towards its nest, backing away from it quickly.
