Seeing the shapely Satyr jump in on his side causes Kast's cold smile to
widen. His stomach lurches as she spits on him, however. Damnit. Now he's
gotta stand up or look like a coward. Great move, girly. It'll be a shame
when he snaps those legs of yours like toothpicks. He tries not to let any
of this show on his face though, throwing more bravado out to Quaid and his
group instead.

"Looks like you're outnumbered now, huh? Best be heading on home before you
get hurt."
