I didn't have a chance to look too closely to the body, but maybe he was shot? It could produce a splatter like that. [But time will tell if there's a gunshot wound.] And...hey. This shouldn't last forever, I should hope.
[A beat.]
Actually, could you stick around for a moment? Talking to you keeps my mind off of...
I do not believe an arrow would do so, but I believe I have heard of similar weapons which might... though I have seen nothing on a small enough scale, here. Only the artillery.
[you're emet familiar you understand exactly why i am staring at the ceiling about this. lorde.]

Particularly with how little progress we have made, as a whole.

Hey. What do you think about this "monster" we're dealing with?

You mean, that pirate village...that space place...those are all remnants of its dinner?

Sure wish they told us about that before all this mess started.
