The wolf helpfully sets her head in Kieran's lap, wanting to get all the skritches she can. The horrifying death monster would get a growl out of her if it got any closer but apparently Ben has that covered.

Meanwhile Pratt is rooted to the spot, everything in him yelling that he should run away from all of this. He's a traitor and a coward and..

No.

No.

Things are different here. Just like they were in Hadriel. He has people he cares about and who care about him (he hopes), and he's not going to just abandon them.

He doesn't know what's going on, maybe this is a sideeffect of Carlisle's healing magic, too much healing and something necrotic rises from the grave? In a way that seems to fit with what he knows, nothing comes without a price. The ink, the rot, this horrible monster zombie thing, maybe that was just the price of using too much healing too fast. He'd ask later, he didn't have time now.

Tentacles shoot out and rip and tear and the monster continues to reform despite Ben's best efforts. He doesn't want to get in there and start attacking it because he'd hit the tentacles and he's not sure if they're connected to Ben in some way where that would injure him as well.

"Carlisle! Carlisle listen, you gotta make this thing stop." He darts in, grabbing the back of Carlisle's cowl and dragging him further away. He only gets a few feet before he has to drop him, his hand cracked and bleeding from being that close to him. He holds it against his chest, not wanting to look and see muscles exposed or worse, bone. He kneels down trying to meet Carlisle's eyes, "You gotta calm down. Everything is okay, Kieran is stabilized and we can get him to the Medbay. Ben is... taking care of this. But you gotta stop whatever's going on. Okay? You still with me?"
