Is that true? Is that how it is? You wouldn't lie to me, would you? Am I really allowed to breathe this air? Given a second chance of life? Is that what you are saying? [A slight tilt of the head as his hair falls over his face in doing so, still slightly bloodied from the battle he lost.]

[A light pat to the creature's head.] He's lamenting a lost battle and crying over his injuries. This little one fought very hard, but ... there is no but ... he did marvelously.

Ah, tragic. If he's injured, you'll soon have twenty people suggesting you cart him down to the hospital, y'know.
