"O-Oh crap." Digbie choked out as he froze, his body automatically going into a defensive mode as he raised his hands to his waist in preparation of what's to come. He was about 90% sure that's the exact thing that almost obliterated Torrent and sent her almost down a path of death, and here he was - face to face with that same thing. He was scared, and he didn't know how to proceed, but he stood there and watched the beetle in front of him closely. He didn't wanna hurt the bug, but he certainly didn't wanna get himself killed in the process.
... maybe this was a time to learn something? Whether it was how to tame a Flak Beetle, or how to handle one in the future. He wasn't sure how he'd continue right here, but he did know that if everything went south really quick, he could probably survive getting hurt a little bit if an Earth Wall didn't form quickly enough. If not, he had healing abilities in any case, so he could heal it off.
Digbie lowered his hands and stepped around the beetle, staying around the same distance from it, still having his eyes trained on it. At any moment, he was ready to make a break for it. He carefully trained around the creature, trying to tell it soothingly to not aggravate it. "Alright, bud. I'm not gonna hurt you, if you don't hurt me." Digbie walked around the beetle with as much caution as he could, ready to raise a wall at a moment's notice in order to easily follow up with a break for the stream.
"I... I could probably learn how fire magic works if I study 'im... but... no, too risky. I need to make it back to camp."
If all was successful moving though, Digbie would try to keep pushing his will into the Yill as he walked on his way back. He tried to remember how Sacred Ground worked, and he tried to use that as his reference, concentrating as hard as he could to try and try to fix the flower as best as he could. He wanted this flower back, it was all he had left of whatever sense of innocence he kept.
