Springlatch was about to say something before he was so swiftly devoured. Not like he could get out of the way or anything when it occured. And now he was in the belly of the beast with a royal ludroth, gunning at it with utmost aggression with his right turret while lashing at it's side with tooth claw and talon. All the while his body crackled while in terror, and in a way hoping that Pepper was definitely alright and might even cut her way out of the ludroth with her bladed tail. Interestingly all of that crackling energy of his lifeforce attacking dragon aura was being channeled right into his left turret. Out of a mix of fear, rage, and raw adrenaline and perhaps some voice in his mind screaming 'Open Fire, Open Fire!' and perhaps under some means he was probably actually muttering those words. How much energy did the small jaggi have? It'd be hard to say but in a moment of panic he'd probably drain his aura dry for the time being before firing, and most likely destroying, that left turret of his.
