All yours. [ Cid lunges for him, more than willing to drive his blade through Barnabas' throat. Someone else might balk at the idea of attempting to kill an unarmed man, but Cid has no such qualms when the danger is so great. Barnabas had taught him that particularly ruthless calculation, and there was a time when he had been a very good student.
Behind him, Nir's ears twitch. She turns abruptly, barking a warning as the leviathan's tentacles whip toward the pair of them again. ]
