Jacque glared down at the man who had stood in his way and snorted, however just before he could get a chance to spit something back, Johnathan spoke up, quickly quelling Jacque's rising anger and replacing it with a tinge of shame for how he'd spoken of everyone in the room, to include the one who'd risked his own life to offer him shelter. The elemental sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of his nose, "No Johnathan, I can't let you do that. You've done more than enough as is, just- ugh, look, i'm not asking for women or children to help, its playing a dangerous game with the future of you humans and honestly it doesn't sit right with me. Perhaps I should narrow down my request a bit..." Jacque tapped his foot on the ground as he thought, then snapped his fingers, "Got it. I need someone, an adult male preferably, who has a rifle and the skills to use it functionally. If one of you DOES meet that criteria, you could find a vantage point, possibly on top of the cave, and take a few pot shots at the demon out there. If that bioweapon is still alive, then between me, it, and um...", Jacque trailed off as he gestured to Zelos, not really knowing the man's name, "...the beast should be worn down a bit more. If someone starting shooting, it might inflict additional damage AND leave its defenses lowered long enough for one of us to possibly kill it.". Jacque let his idea hang in the air for a few seconds before turning and nodding to Zelos, time wasn't on the bioweapon outside's side, nor was it on Jacque's, if one of the humans decided to go through with it, they'd have to make their way out and find a spot to shoot on their own, "Just think about it people." he said before walking towards the mouth of the cave. Jacque would never verbally admit it, but he desperately hoped that if any one went out to shoot, it wouldn't be Johnathan.
