<em>As they land and he absorbs the impact, he only relinquishes his grasp after Humour and his cage have landed, keeping the others safe from any additional shrapnel. Contracting back, for now, to normal dimensions, he watches the viscous blue villain immediately charge into battle, and, beneath his mask, smiles grimly. Good, a distraction. It would give them enough time, at least, to gather themselves and form a plan.<br/><br/>He likewise bows to Lady Bast, a tad deeper than she does, even, as a sign of respect for the sorceress, and, seeing her immediately set to casting a spell, he decides to wait until after to adress her, instead first speaking to Jessie.<br/><br/>"They do. The V'sori, thankfully, were more concerned with my powers than any mere blades, and didn't think to remove them from my person."<br/><br/>With a single quick motion, the pair of compacted blades are in his hands, and, with a flick of both his wrists, they're deployed. He inclines his head to the debris of their cuffs, his restraints, and Humour's containment unit.<br/><br/>"If you should have need of these in whatever defense you're undoubtedly devising, they are at your disposal, as am I."<br/><br/>Next, he turns his gaze and words to Bast.<br/><br/>"Lady Bast, of all of us, I think your powers are most uniquely suited to locating our target. I should think it more productive to find him and seek him rather than have to sweep every inch of this Gulag of theirs."<br/><br/>Then Alexis. Not, of course, that she'd be pleased if he revealed her identity to the others.<br/><br/>"I find myself pleasantly surprised, Haste. If you would be so kind as to watch all of our backs? You could probably spot any serious threat before the rest of us, and I think both Jessie and Lady Bast would appreciate the defense."<br/><br/>And, finally, Frenzy. Whiplash extends a hand-- normally.<br/><br/>"Whiplash. Frenzy, if I've not mistaken. We've never met, but I've heard of you. Unless what I've heard of your powers is mistaken, you are likely the best suited to break out our target."</em>
