[Barabas knows death intimately. Most shapeshifters in his world are. But that doesn't make it any easier, somehow. So he takes Yang from Ren as gently as possible, cradling the young woman's body in his arms.]

I'll take the escort then. Thank you.

[Better to get back as quickly as possible.] Good luck with the creature. There are a number of people intent on killing it. I'll be following the scent of death meanwhile. I don't want to see any of our friends left down in this place.

[Not happening while he can do anything about it.]
