Assult of the Sea Beast Horde (5).

Hunter remained silent...

He had Blaze were not particularly close. In fact, apart from Dan, he wasn't close with anyone else. To put it bluntly, their team was a very loose one. No body seemed to want to pry much into the others. Although they collaborated towards the same goal, which was reaching the Main City, they weren't involved with one another of a deeper level.

In other words...

They were not friends, merely teammates. Acquaintances brought together by a common goal.

Although Hunter ignored him, Blaze didn't seem to let it affect him. Instead, he continued talking,

He started with a self-depreciating scoff, "David's death just reminded me just how human we remain. To think he would die so easily."

Hunter's mouth seemed to move without him knowing,

"Death is a part of existing. He was destined to go one way or the other. Besides, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. What did you expect?"
