Ask your friend Kane.
Your jaw sets at this deflection, anger feathering as you grit your teeth. Deflecting away, what a joke- but you don't have the bandwidth to deal with him right now. Vai has to be your priority, keeping her safe and getting her away from him. Jata will get his justice, you'll see to that. For now, your woman needs you.
You're there right away as she tries to stand, arm under her shoulders and then the other under her knees, sweeping her up and holding her against your chest. "'S k. I gotcha." Seeing someone so strong so broken is devastating, but you can't let your emotions show. Gently, tenderly, you press wind-chapped lips against her forehead, your eyes closed, rage flickering over your face.
Then you turn towards the door, not listening to or caring about whatever bullshit the 'Biter is spewing. Only when you reach the exit do you pause, looking back with protective hatred burning in your eyes. "Come near her again an yer dead," you promise, before pushing out into the cold air, the most precious of treasures held within your arms.
