The Room

*Zeta stares on for a couple seconds, all the while her spear would be laughing, saying "I told you so" to Zeta if it could be heard, even though she understands it. She then swallows, and nods, trying to understand the logic, and failing to do so apart from labeling Xan as a monster.*
Zeta: I... see... a creature that morphs into a human at will... very dangerous...
*If she was holding her spear, her grip on it would certainly tighten a fair bit, but luckily for her, her spear is floating beside her like a good spear.*

The Room

*Vaseraga chooses to not answer Sasha on what he is, cause they're walking. He smiles underneath his helmet at the concept of more monsters, then looks down at John.*
Vaseraga: I will help with the creature infestation. And with the carrying of your partner.
*As he says that, he pulls up Sasha and holds her like one would a baby, which is weird seeing as though she'd probably be just as bulky as him, but he's more than strong enough to be able to completely carry her weight.*

---

*Zeta stares at Xan for a little bit, cause 'Werejaguar' and 'strongbeast' don't jog Zeta's memory at all, then she nods, pretending she knows.*
Zeta: Souka... Well... that's good to know... I'm going to get food.
*She says that cause she's awkward about things she doesn't know, especially friendly ones.*

The Room

*Zeta shrugs, and yawns in the same motion. Her spear no longer glows like it usually does, partly cause Zeta put it to bed kinda, partly cause it doesn't want to glow.*
Zeta: Figured I'd get some peace and quiet here. Maybe pick up some info if one of those three sleep-talk.
*She gestures her head towards the Iris/Horus/Hanna sleep pile, and fails to mention she felt bad for Xan, thus why she stayed.*
Zeta: What are you, exactly? I've been meaning to ask.

The Room

*Vaseraga laughs coldly, and moves to take Sasha's weight, though he really doubts she'd let him touch her.*
Vaseraga: I am many things, but a liar I am not.

---

*Zeta sighs, not really willing to leave Xan considering she's basically a puppy, so she sits down on the ground, and leans on the side of the couch to rest. She holds her spear in her hands, and softly speaks to it in hushed tones, trying to gather information about something that may or may not have followed her into the forest, that something being Vaseraga.*

The Room

*Vaseraga isn't phased one bit, and claps Lectoer on the shoulder the moment he gets close enough to do so.*
Vaseraga: She died in the glory of battle, there could be no greater honour. The only thing that you can do now is sate your blade with the blood of her killer, and take your vengeance.
*He then looks down at Sasha with a look of annoyance, not that it's visible. He leans down slighty, mostly to look imposing, partly so he can whisper.*
Vaseraga: 'Tis one thing to die in battle, but another to die from stubbornness. We go to this room of yours, and you get your healers to assist you with your injuries. I shall carry you if you cannot make the distance on foot.
*He then straightens up and laughs once more, the sound echoing through his helmet.*
Vaseraga: Are there more of your kind in this so-called room? You are fun to be around! Attract all sorts of trouble!

---

*Zeta eventually stretches, and goes back into the room. She has a gut feeling, and her spear itself emits a dim and sobre glow, as if in thought.*

The Room

*Vaseraga eventually gathers the strength to stand, and begins the hard task of pulling out things in him, such as the icicles. The scythe slowly floats back to him while he does so, and once it reaches him, he takes it in his hand and begins walking towards the group again, no longer even appearing hindered by his grievous wounds. He laughs as he gets closer to the group, speaking in a hearty tone which should not be possible for a brute as scary as him.*
Vaseraga: That was fun! Most certainly not like any other Primal Beast I have fought, but still fun!

The Room

*Zeta leans back and watches the exchange, remaining silent the entire time.*

---

*Vaseraga can't do much apart from just lie on the ground, cause his wounds are catching up to him, despite him still not feeling the pain of them, which should be at a really stupid high level right now.*

The Room

*Zeta puts up her hand to sulence Xan for a little bit while she listens for something, then nods and lowers her hand.*
Zeta: It's over. Now to see the victor.
*She exits the room and looks around quietly and subtly. She notices Hugo on the ground, and Iris close by, and decides to help a little bit. She leans on the wall, and has her spear fetch the medkit from the kitchen, and floats it over to the space inbetween Iris and Hugo, cause she doesn't really know who is dead or alive. She also spots Jillian walking away, but makes no move to follow her cause she figures she needs time to herself.*

---

*Vaseraga, although bloodied and bruised, manages to get to hit feet soon after he's dropped, and wrap (to the best of his abilities) his arms around a section of the centipedes back, trying to pull it back and away from John. He also hears Sasha's scream, and makes his scythe slowly float over to him while he gets pulled along by the centipede, cause let's be honest, he isn't strong enough to change what direction it's going, probably just enough to slow it. The second the scythe of his gets close enough for him to grab, he does so, and flings it right at the tendril impaling Sasha, aiming for the base of it as to not slash Sasha in half by accident. By throwing it he basically loses his grip on the centipede, and tumbles to the ground, so John is on his own for now.*

The Room

*Zeta nods, and continues leaning on her spear, slowly edging herself towards the kitchen door to peer out towards the door and see if she can see what's happening. Her movements are sluggish from her wounds, but she still has some bite left.*
Zeta: Mhm. Gunshots and from what I can tell, people yelling. I don't really want to go any closer, but I really don't have a choice. I still owe Jill I guess.
*She signs in resignation, then continues edging herself towards the fighting, eventually holding her spear normally instead of like a walking stick.*

---

*Vaseraga, although he weighs like half a tonne, wouldn't really be able to do much if the centipede really wanted him off the ground, but he still tries his hardest. As a last ditch effort, he attempts snapping the centipede's neck with a punch to the underside of the head, but seeing as though it's an insect, it doesn't have a neck, and even if it did, the law of forces would mean he'd have to generate a helluva lot of force to break something that big.*

The Room

*Zeta hears the gunfire, but she really can't be assed to deal with it, so she pretends she doesn't. She looks at her spear, which is looking back at her in its own way, and sighs. She lets go of the spear, and lets it go check out the disturbance. It floats over to the shooting, and sees Hugo with his tentacles wrapped around a weird lizard monster, so it is really confused as to who is the good guy. It slowly floats back to Zeta after a while of watching, and she basically facepalms.*

---

*Vaseraga roars in defiance at being moved around, and tries digging in his heels into the ground to at least slow the centipede down. He also tries picking it up, but yeah that won't happen, it's a fair bit too big for that. He does what he can with the scythe, but loses his grip on it in exchange for trying to slow down the centipede, so the scythe clatters out of the centipede's head and onto the ground, lost in the dust from the rampaging critter.*
