Anna yelped as she was suddenly lifted into the air, but didn't totally panic thanks to Ven's warning her. "Thanks, I appreciate the warning." She said it without any sarcasm. She twisted around until she got her hand inside her backpack (which miraculously survived the tumble into the ravine) and withdrew a six-inch long sheathed knife. She hated using weapons but her brother had given it to her and told her to use it if she was ever in trouble. "Hey Ven, I can't use weapons very well, but I've got a knife? Not going to do anything until the beast attacks though, cause I don't want to provoke it?"

"Ah, good call! I've got a weapon myself. If you'd like, I could give you a crash course on weaponry sometime." He says, feeling like a casual conversation would keep him from messing up along the way. So far, he'd been doing pretty good in terms of avoiding any stray roots or branches that could prevent him from making a clean getaway from the chimera. "Man, of all the things to be chased by, it just has to be a chimera. In a jungle, of all places!" Ven states.
