As soon as Digbie felt the sudden approach of a Dire Rat due to Tremor Sense, he slammed his book closed and thought for a split second. Tons of things rushed through his head as he turned to stare at the Dire Rat leaping towards his throat. It was almost as if time had slowed down that he realized he didn't have much to do in defense here that would result in him not being in some sort of mortal danger. This thing was like a bear to the Demiblin, and he was afraid.

In that moment, he couldn't help but have an instinctual response in his head. Fight, or Flight? Which would he choose? How would he escape this situation and live to see the sunrise tomorrow? Could he even do this alone? How strong was this rat anyway? Could it actually kill him in one massive chomp at his throat, or would it miss and have to nibble some of the dirt? Tons of questions that he couldn't answer, but he did know the answer to one of them...

[i]Flight.[/i]

He didn't have long to react, so with a quick breath Digbie ducked down and lunged in the direction he was heading initially, his book being clutched under his arm all the while. He just barely managed to leap out of the way of the Rat's gaping maw, and it was evident that he wouldn't be able to keep dodging forever. Running though was certainly a possibility, since he was [i]so close[/i] to the others that if he just made it close enough he could probably get there and be safe.

It seemed like the rat wasn't planning on missing, so as it skid across the dirt behind Digbie in an attempt to regain its footing, Digbie got a head start on his beeline. He didn't care for reading about Jehanne at this immediate moment since he could do that after he survived his encounter, but he knew he needed to [i]get out of there![/i] A last look over his shoulder towards the Rat allowed just enough time for Digbie to get his analysis off, going for a Monster Analysis, Material Analysis, and Magic Analysis all on the Rat in case it could teleport and just off him easy.

[color=0072bc][b]"J-Jehanne protect me!"[/b][/color] he choked out as he kept running, a hand pointed at the ground underneath him as he used Earth Wall. He needed to buy himself some time to keep this rat at bay so he could get back to base, and with any luck the wall he made would help him make some distance over the Rat.

With all he could do out of the way, Digbie knew that the only remaining thing he could do at that point was flee. Just in case he couldn't get all the way back, he took a deep breath and shouted towards the camp. [color=0072bc][b]"TORRENT! OBERON! ASH! HELP MEEEEEEE!"[/b][/color]
