[ her tiny bluster is sadly not enough to relax him in this situation, familiar as it is. It's hard to be relieved about seeing a familiar face when you're on an alien planet, covered in eggtoplasm, and supposedly deceased. Determination spurs his unsteady feet to move a bit faster, and he's at her side in another moment, although he's quick to slide back down to a knee - he at least makes it look like he's just getting on her level. ]
That doesn't matter. [ no time for japes here. Bruno's giving her a quick look-over even as he asks, ] Are you hurt? Don't tell me that even with the arrow, you couldn't win...?
[ Was the boss that powerful? He dreads the answer. This doesn't feel like the afterlife, but he has no good explanation for why he's still thinking - and more than that, why he has an actual pulse again. None of it makes sense, but it makes more sense that Trish might have died than he might have been revived. People don't come back to life. And, judging by the urgency of his expression, that likelihood upsets him quite a bit. ]
WEAK! WEAK AND PATHETIC!
