"I'm sorry to question your words, Svara apologized as she joyfully swatted a Rank 3 Digestor, but I don't think Kelly is doing well. I doubt we'll get anything good out of repeating her feat."
"True..." Will nodded in earnest. He was still disoriented by the Rank 9 Digestor's sound attack and had only just regained consciousness.
The thought of attacking that thing head-on could only give him the creeps. Even now, he was still on his dragon's back, letting it carry him around the battlefield like a sack of potatoes.
"Are you sure about this?" Jake confirmed sternly as he stared at Grash intently.
So far, this alien hadn't exactly shone with intelligence. Even if he knew more than they did, one would have to be completely brain dead to take his advice at face value.
Grash seemed to guess what Jake and the others thought of him, because he justified himself immediately afterwards.
I have seen several comments in the last few chapters that find Kyle useless/stupid with his extreme emotional reactions. While this is obviously a serious flaw, I would love to see how you would react if it was your own little sister or wife/girlfriend who was being abused. To let this dear person suffer atrocities even one more hour is already too much. He may know he's doing something wrong, but he just can't help it.
We live in a world where people get sick from smoking, drinking, eating junk food when even a child knows it's bad for them. Intelligence or common sense is not enough to dictate a person's behavior or we would all be perfect.
The truth is that I don't think anyone really knows how they would react in this situation until they experience it personally, which of course I wouldn't wish on anyone.
