Yuri more or less sees the pointlessness of pursuing the human any further, though were she the only target present, he might still try to claw his way through that door. He turns even before the bird wings her way back up the hallway, though, anticipating her, though he keeps expecting her to go away from him, not buzz back past him.

This time, he's a little more prepared, and his swipe comes dangerously close to hitting her. Again, though, she's too fast, too unpredictable, and he's left slamming his paw down on the empty floor.

Just try that again! he snarls, bounding after her. His ears perk forward in surprise as she suddenly gets bigger -- and, to his delight, slower.
