Kartahn blinked wildly as the sword came out. It was unlike him to lose his shades, but he felt them drop down a bit in his startled state. The other man had seemed completely possessed, as if the actions he had been perpetrating were not his own.
As the sword was pointed towards him, he winced. This was how it was all going to end, huh... and in the end, he'd only saved a few souls apart from his sister? Tch. This was typical. At the very least, he wished he could tell cos goodbye and have one last beat fight with his bro, but it didn't look like that was going to happen.
I messed up... He thought to himself.
He closed his eyes.
And then, when it was over... he opened them again. He was still alive. But those words... what had just been done? He glared angrily at Rafe and shoved his glasses back up to cover his eyes.
"Man, are you fucking stupid? You got shit for brains? I told your dumb ass---"
But then he froze. The words he'd wanted to repeat wouldn't come. It's not that they wouldn't, more like they couldn't. They'd hung in the back of his mind but it was as if someone was keeping them prisoner and he couldn't spring them.
What a fuckin' pain in my ass...
"Tch... don't know what the fuck you just did to me but whatever it is, it worked. Guess I gotta tell the truth, huh? Alright chucklefucks, listen good. I'm here to save everyone. You got that?"
He turned to Rupert. "Don't know who the hell you are, but you ain't normal. You one of us?" He asked, the tone in his voice going far beyond offensive and approaching demanding.
