Kanaya sat silently while Eridan ranted. He presented some valid concerns, and when his eyes flickered to hers, she was touched. She sucked at her sharpened teeth. While she didn't want her friends to endanger themselves either, she felt in her bones that she would continue.

"Fighting those creatures may have been dangerous, but I cannot truthfully say I won't engage in battle again should an opportunity arise. Now that I'm aware that I can assist in eliminating these threats, I don't believe I'm capable of standing by while less prepared civilians attempt to tackle the dilemma. In any case, I've come to feel rather territorial about the whole issue. It would feel altogether too reprehensible to leave it the problem in the hands of those who are less knowledgable." Besides, she figured a bit of fighting might help help with the bloodlust. She was already calming down from the battle, and she found the nervous energy that had been threatening to burst out of her for weeks had had lessened palpably.
