[He shoves his communicator away, nodding at Gokudera, it does not surprise him that his friend showed up. Even if he had not gotten injured, there is not a Guardian among them who would leave another to face something like this alone if it can be avoided.]

I needed the swords, I thought I'd have enough time to get him back in. [He is quick to put the pup away and deploy the sparrow back toward the beast. With his hand free now he drops Shigure Kintoki to his free hand, flames lighting along the blade as it's wrapping flutters to the ground near the beast who drops low and begins pawing the ground as if to charge.]

If you can distract him long enough I think Kojiro and I can get close to douse him and slow him enough for us to get out of here. [Thankfully it seems content to stay within the confines of the fence. He is paying no mind to his side, that will have to wait till later and his entire demeanor. From the way he holds his body there to the look in his eyes says as much. This first, he is not dying so he is not stopping.]
