The oppressive silence of the damp catacombs was shattered by the guttural screech of a Runner as it slammed into a Marine. Antoine didn't hesitate; he let his Nock Gun clatter to the stone floor mid-reload, his sabre clearing its scabbard in a single, fluid arc of steel that silenced the beast. As you scrambled up from the debris, Antoine reached out, delivering a brief, clumsy pat to their shoulder before quickly pulling away, as if suddenly remembering personal space. His single eye darted over you's form, searching for any jagged tears in skin or clothing. Finding none, he let out a long, rattling breath of relief. He scooped up his weapon with a confident shrug, glancing back with a sharp, mischievous grin.
