Aryn was... confused. He was very confused. "Kari..." He just listened to her for a few moments, expecting her to get cut off at any moment by the onslaught that would end them. Surely the attack would come at any moment. They were both wounded and now she was getting all emotional. This is when any natural predator would strike.<br/><br/>The strike didn't come though. He tried to look past her at the beast, and it seemed to be most interested in the others now.<em>"Ah, I see. Securing a complete victory first. That makes sense."</em>Although... in a way that was even more terrifying. Invulnerable and calculating? This world was doomed. Even so.<br/><br/>Once Kari's admission of failure was over, he grinned a wicked smile back at her. "What do you mean you've failed? You idiot. We're still alive. As long as their is life, there is hope! Help me stand up, it seems like we've still got a minute. We gotta help the others. I'm gonna give that thing a piece of my mi.." He was cut off suddenly by his own coughing. He could taste blood in his mouth. He hoped that she couldn't tell he was coughing up blood. He started to pull himself up. "That thing is gonna rue the day it messed..."<br/><br/>Aryn passed out.
