[ Yata's been having to chase them down and bash them to pieces the hard way thus far, so having them being almost literal sitting ducks is a nice change of pace. He's stronger than he looks at it is, so with Elsa keeping them in place he's able to make quick work of the little bastards. He's a little impressed by how skilled she is with her ice. He hasn't even seen many Blue Clansmen that are capable of as much.

Shame the scraplets seem to be almost endless. Yata pauses when Elsa mentions that more of them are apt to show up, letting the tip of his staff fall to rest on the ground. ]

Yeah...

[ He frowns, weighing his options. He's not much of a strategist, but... ]

You don't think that'd be best, though? I mean...

[ He points to himself, and then gestures at Elsa. ]

It's not like they wanna eat either of us, and they can't handle your ice at all.

[ It's better than letting them eat the giant robots, in other words, even though the giant robots are technically at fault. ]
