It sure is weird to see someone explode into water and then hear their voice coming from nearby while your brain struggles to come to terms with everything that's going on. Like. A real mindfuck. So Garrot's head whips around with a look of sheer disbelief until he sees them and-
"Oh, thank all the gods you're okay! You exploded!" Garrot makes this noise, see, and it's somewhere between a sob, a sigh, and a laugh, like when a child hides from their parent in the clothing racks of a department store for an hour. The release of all the tension and grief and rage spurs him onward, and suddenly he's rushing to Zafika's tree.
And then suddenly a standing stack of two or three Garrots is there, claws dug into the tree and far more stable than before. The doctor isn't looking directly at the assassin, but he's grinning ear to ear and sniffling almost constantly.
"You can either climb down or I can carry you down." Either way, he couldn't stop Zafika from exploding, so he's sure as shit helping them out of this tree.
