Shanks let out a shocked gargle, feeling the familiar taste of blood well up in his jaws. Something had broken inside of him, probably ruptured some tissue. The pain was numbing enough to let him slide down against the tree like a limp lapdog.

He clutched his hand to his chest and let out a strained gasp for air, as he forced himself back up. He gave his torso a good pounding too with his right hand, concentrating his best to let the internal damage heal in its own pace.

Though the creature was strong and weighed a lot, it also meant that it was slow. He just needed to be quick on his feet and avoid being grabbed, and he would be able to get both himself and Kayleigh out of there.

With a grunt he darted off, sprinting sideways along the lumbering giant, making his way past him and up to Kay, where he put her arm over and around the back of his neck. "Can you stand, redmop?" he wheezed, his ears on high alert to determine how close up the monster was behind them.
