Novak considered the observations and suggestions of his companions.  As they had pointed out, the stone giant seemed to be avoiding the strange black stones.  The swordswoman was intent on leaving while the guardian was distracted, and wanted to avoid the black stones on the way out.  Novak thought it was a sound plan, so long as the giant didn't turn its attention to them.

[i]If it noticed us we wouldn't have much time before it caught up with us,[/i] he thought.  Despite the giant's immense, ground-shaking weight, it was deceptively swift on its feet, and there was no way they would be able to outrun it if they caught its attention.  Fortunately, the giant seemed to have become distracted by something else and had headed even further away.  If there was any time to get out of here, it was now.

The fox-girl, however, suggested the slabs, or at least the outskirts, could provide a safe haven from the colossus.  It was a possibility, but not one that Novak wanted to test.  Simply staying out of range of that guardian's blade meant they'd have to draw closer to the slabs, and it seemed like a risky gamble.  On the other hand, in a worst case scenario- in other words, if it caught up to them- Novak would rather take his chances with the unknown than with that terrible giant.

[color=ed1c24]"I agree with the swordswoman,"[/color] he spoke up, again reminded that he didn't know their names, [color=ed1c24]"We need to get out of here now while that thing is distracted and far away.  As for the stones, they could be a safe spot, but I'd rather not risk it until we're out of other options."[/color]

Truth be told, they didn't have a lot of viable options to begin with, so if that giant decided to fixate on them before they made it to the exit, they could very well be cast into that scenario.

[color=ed1c24]"I'm ready to make a break for it if you two are."[/color]
