[ Even if Zack hadn't been able to cut down his intended target, there is a spark of relief when he takes out one of the thralls. It's short-lived, though. Unless he stops the necromancer, these corpses are going to keep getting back up. If there's anything that's an abomination in this alleyway, it's these creatures that are sad husks of their living selves.
In the darkness it's hard to make out much, but Zack can see more than most with his sharpened Monster vision. He gathers that Kaede is able to free herself from the net, and soon enough puts together that she's taken to the shadows in much the same way as when they met in the Wilde. How she does it he's less clear on, but that's something that he can ask her once they're safe.
Now the tide is turning in their favor, and Zack can see that the Witch is faltering, if only slightly. His lips lift up into a cocky smile as he holds his sword in a two-handed grip, at the ready. ]
You gonna leave us be now? If you don't, I get the feeling you're gonna regret it.
[ He's giving them an out, even if there is some beast within him that would like nothing more than to keep up the hunt. For now, at least, he manages to quiet it. Kaede's safety remains the priority, so if he can defuse the situation? All the better.
Still, he can sense her at his back, ready to leap out at the slightest provocation. ]
