When he sees Rory cut through the monster's arm, he's immediately backing up a couple steps, calling Fen up and asking for a sword of his own. He doesn't want to get as close as he'd need to get with a knife, but if a sword works, then he'll use a fuckin sword. He hands the knife off, and--

And then the monster is on fire. He takes another step back and towards Luka, eyes widening as he watches this thing just fall apart on itself. For a moment, he's certain that the monster will die here, and when it doesn't, he knows that he needs to do it. He doesn't know if the monsters can actually feel pain, but if it can, leaving it like that any longer then he has to would be an unlivable cruelty.

He darts forward when the monster starts running, moving like he's going to meet that charge head on with no weapon at all. About a yard apart though, his expression darkens into a focused grimace and the air in front of the monster goes iridescent and hard. He means to splatter the monster against a wall, dropping the shield a moment later. Reaching out to Fen as they reappear with his sword, and moving to thrust the weapon through the monster's chest.
