Another voice broke his concentration, this one unfamiliar. He whipped around to look up at the girl who had shouted at them, and suddenly he found much of his fear washing away. What was it replaced with? Infatuation? Pride? Bah! No, Emlyn filled with incredulity. Who the hell was this girl supposed to be that she just [i]happened[/i] upon them. Did she have a partner with her? Was this the other half of their team? Perhaps, but he knew one thing for sure, if that wasn't the case, that relic belong to [i]him[/i]. And Auriel. Him and Auriel, right. 

His mind cleared up again as he glanced to the Datura. "Wait, we ought to-" and Auriel was gone, blinking away. Dammit, that might have come in handy for him if he hadn't used it on the Itzamnas earlier. No matter, he had his plan set, and he could adjust to work off of Auriel's actions. Perhaps having a partner was going to be more helpful than he thought. 

He dashed, circling around the giant to get a better view of its back, casting one or two glances at the girl. Was she going to be useful, or was she going to wait? She didn't look to have any sort of weapon on her that he could see, which was troubling. He didn't put her out of his mind, but he did refocus onto the beast for the moment. Killing it didn't seem incredibly necessary, that just needed the card on its back. Dammit, if they'd have been subtler about it, he could have scaled the monster quietly and snatched it, he thought. But instead he waited, trying to spot an opening not to attack, but to board.
