...We Come In Peace?

Damien didn't respond to Lane's question, only letting out a heavy sigh as he rubbed his temples. There was no point stating the obvious, after all - no, Lane wasn't supposed to let himself be stabbed, but there was no need to toss the creature that far either! How was that supposed to help them appear peaceful and harmless?

What was done was done, however, so he just sheathed his sword, and raised his hands up, approaching the loudest yelling creature, which seemed to be the leader of the group.

And then he stopped, stumped.

To be fair, he also had no idea what to do. He didn't want to fight the monsters. They seemed like civilized, intelligent beings, so perhaps communication would be possible? If so, then maybe they could learn something about this world, monsters, or Gates. And coexist in peace.
