Shadow remained silent, still facing away from her and refusing to look back. He only does for a brief second, just to catch her expression, before twisting his head back.

"You were lucky. Be more careful out there and do not overexert yourself. Next time, I likely will not be there to rescue you."

Of course, though, he did this time. She was safe, he was safe, and they were still on good terms instead of her questioning his morality. Oh, no, he's killing people out of self-defense. How horrible... except not. Shadow frankly didn't care. These lives were nothing to him. If they were going to try to kill him, they were plenty due for a karmic response.

Ha... at least he wasn't alone in his thinking.

If Tori looked carefully, she may or may not have seen a small smile spread across his muzzle.
