[The blade that appears in the creature’s hand is confirmation enough of the Big Sister’s apprehension, and she takes a step forward, impatient to end the creature before it can attack again. She returns Nihlus’s order with a glare, first at him, then the creature. If he doesn’t want to be thrown, then he should deal with it himself.
That’s what the Big Sister assumes he’s doing when he turns towards it—though it’s a stupid move, getting close enough that the creature could gut him with that blade if it chose to. What comes next, however, is even more infuriating. Nihlus actually holds out the creature’s weapon towards it, close enough that it would be the work of a moment for the creature to lunge up and grab it. The Big Sister doesn’t know what the gesture is meant to be—mockery, a peace offering, or even intentional aid—but she knows she isn’t going to stand for it.
The Big Sister’s growl explodes into a shriek, and Nihlus will only have a moment to brace before a wall of force collides with his side, aiming to throw him away from the creature.]
