Karies

Tachyon can Fight, Muon is but a babe and should Fortify

>Don't forget your own fighting abilities. There's not a beast alive that can withstand your patented Presidential Punch.

It seems that despite the damage dealt by the renowned Presidential Punch, it still seems to be stuck in the rearing position. Perhaps it's preparing for a stronger attack? Whatever the case may be, Muon's prepared.

That being said, you seemed to have stunned the beast for a few extra seconds. That should be enough to check the inventory

>Check what objects you have on your person.

• Kary Fang-Dagger - dagger crafted from the fang of a greater kary from long-ish ago. Gifted to you on the trip which you first adopted Tachyon.
  
• Pocket Knife - you don't ever leave home without at least one or two of these.
• Important papers - documents regarding important confidential details and facts. Can be thrown at an enemy to confuse, stun, or blind a foe in a practical fight.
  
• Pen - great for writing things. Also shouldn't leave home without one.
  

You admittedly do not have very much on your person right now. You really weren't expecting to get into a scuffle like this. Perhaps if you had, you'd have brought some better weapons. You brought the Fang-dagger along, as it is a delightful keepsake and a great conversational piece.

You could continue to fight alongside your Karies in this fight, to inflict more damage with your great feats of strength, and you can also perform another CHECK. Using the CHECK ability in battle will reveal a somewhat different set of information during a battle than outside of a battle after all.

While using the CHECK Ability outside of battle will give you a wealth of info about the general status of your Kary, when it is used in a battle it will give you information that is relevant to the battle system. This info includes age (Karies that are considered "child" age will be unable to enter the battle screen.
Those considered Adolescent, Adult, and Elder age are able to partake in battles), their Kary-type and subtype, and what kinds of moves / abilities they can perform in a battle.

Some Karies are great for dealing damage, and some are good at doing more supportive roles in a fight, like getting a read on your foes or inflicting them with statuses. It should be known that the FORTIFY status is a boon status that most any Kary can use without any particular extra requirements.
