[Gentle fingers prompt him to open his eyes, and he sees a terrified, pathetic-looking girl with a weapon clutched in her delicate hands. She's... what, she's looking for him to help? He sits up in quiet alarm, taking quick stock of the situation. Some fool tussling with Thane on the ground, silver and metal clutched between them.
He hardly cares. They're preoccupied and he's got a plan.]
Give me that, and I'll help.
[He speaks in a whisper, and reaches for the saw before he finishes. The second he has a fixed grip on the item, he clasps a hand about the girl's mouth and slices a great length in her throat, just at the jugular vein. He holds her until he no longer feels panicked breath against his palm, and then drops her body, letting it bleed out to the earth. Let Thane read what message he likes: Talbot is leaving.
He moves cautiously until the sounds of the fight fade away, and then he darts through the wood in a rapid zig-zag pattern. He focuses on the moment, and the need to find a small, dark, quiet place, rather than the thought of how long it's been since he's been reduced to this. He finds what seems to be an abandoned badger's den, and shoulders his way in as far as he can go. He'll wait for the cover of night. Then he'll play.]
