[Predictably, kaiju Capricorn bares its flat goat teeth at Scuti and bleats its defiance towards her. Now fully formed, it beats its two hooves on the ground and starts to push itself--
Backwards. Away from Scuti. Towards the river, where it can swim. Its tail lashes with the effort, urging it on.
Perseus hangs in the thrashing loop of the kaiju's tail, stunned. Stars bloom and throb in ugly colors across his vision. It's hard to breathe. Still, he can hear Scuti call out after him.
That's what makes him kick weakly at it, what makes him lift his head despite a wave of sickness and try to answer her.]
Se...npai...
[He's alive. If he survives this, he'll probably be all right. But if he's dragged into the water in this condition, even Sentinel Perseus, blessed as he is by air, will drown.
Flailing, a hoof strikes a glancing blow against an abandoned crane, causing the heavy load it still holds suspended above to sway slightly, perilously. The kaiju has managed to turn itself around and over so it faces the river. The crane's load hangs right over its head--like a guillotine.]
