*Duke and Kage are out together when...they run into trouble.*

Kage: *jerks to a stop, a hand going to the side of his neck* Duke...run. *collapses in a heap*

*Before Duke can take two steps in any direction, he'll feel something prick his neck, and his whole body will suddenly feel heavy. It won't knock him out, but in a moment, he won't be able to keep his feet ot speak without tremendous effort.*

Duke: */growls/ as he looks around, dropping to his knees to hunch protectively over Kage*
