In many ways that sounded worse to Kel, only helped by the dramatic retelling of the tale - however lacking in any concrete details it was. It made the man-thing before him sound less and less human by the moment, more a monster than someone who was once human. Though perhaps some of that was the result of the snarling, spitting spite that he spewed, lashing out like a wounded animal with words as weapons.
As long as that was all he lashed out with, Kel was hesitant to move. Woods-wise as he was, he knew the danger of running from a worked-up predator looking for a chase, and while he needed to breathe and rest eventually, there was no sign that this creature was held back by either limitation.
He might have been a romantic at heart, might have said something about a few months being enough time to fall in love and fall apart again, but he doubted that empty platitudes would improve matters in any way at all. "Is... did whoever do this to you... is it that they won't put you back the way you before? Or that they can't?" he asked cautiously, unsure what would set off the next round of venom or pitiable lament.
