[Rean's just about to agree with that assessment, but then Elliot cries out, and he's whirling around to see what's happened.]
Elliot!
[Damn it, this is all his fault! If he'd been keeping an eye out, he would have been able to warn Elliot, or get between him and the monster, maybe get in a preemptive strike... he's been without his senses for long enough that he should know better than to try to rely on them here!
But here he is, messing everything up as usual, and now his best friend is hurt. Because of him.
It's all he can do to make this thing pay.
Immediately, he's got his sword at the ready and is charging for the hatchling, taking a hard swing at it and crying out himself from the effort.]
