The words nearly froze Hoss in his steps. He barely resisted the urge to cast around for a glimpse of the pestilent slime. Barely.
Ekelhaft. Has it been following us this whole time? Hoss has no data on the ancient madgod besides the aura of insanity hinted at by the Cultivator, and his own brief experience with if after his temporary disposal of Konka Rar. All he does know is that he must not lose his sanity. Hoss reconsiders his decisions since their encounter, but has trouble thinking rationally. He is unable to consider them based on their merit alone; a talent he is usually quite capable of. He puts it down to the damage he sustained upon entry to the cavern, and the fact that he is still running on minimal power. A sudden thought strikes him. How did she even know? If she saw him, why didn't she shoot? Unless... Hoss grins inwardly. Were it visible, it would not be a kind grin. Clever girl. Clever, evil little girl! Oh I shall have to punish you for this, yes, most terribly! This time a twisted, ugly smile spreads slowly across his face. He is not aware it is there.
Stewing in half-crazed paranoia, Hoss is too focused on Dr. Anarchy to consider that she may have been telling the truth. That she, too, may be affected, and that maybe, just maybe, she was able to recognize the corruption. Where Hoss's thoughts should dwell on the true threat of Ekelhaft, they instead chatter and rage at what could have been his greatest ally.
Hoss and Dr. Anarchy near the two figures standing by the rubble(Hoss does not notice the third has gone missing), and are now able to make them out. Calm and Konka Rar watch the duo approach.
