Hard to get a stake through the heart if you're inexperienced, and beheading with a sword demands practice at sword-play. Only one here with any experience at either is the Slayer. Anyway, not the point."
He pulled away slightly, enough to be able to look Lane in the eye. "What we do need to be careful of is that they don't end up going for you too."
