[Honestly, going by the glint of rage-joy in the kid's eyes and the expression on his face, Marco could swear that he looked related to Rachel. Or maybe it's just the fact he kinda looks like Jake, with the short dark hair and broad shoulders. Between the shoulders and the obvious way he's seriously enjoying some brutal gashing and goring and gutting of monsters, it looks like this might be a pretty easy fight, and familiar too, in a way that makes even Marco's gut clench a little, suddenly missing Rachel.

Except the way the guy asks what he is - that's a little weird. Marco's used to people being pretty familiar with what a gorilla is.]

<Don't worry man, I'm on your side. And like, I can tell you're fine with the casually cutting off weird alien monster tongues all off-handedly like some kinda warrior prince, but I kinda need to focus. I'll explain later, when I turn back into my adorable self.>

[And with that, Marco bellows again, and leaps over the wall, holding on with one powerful hand while the other grabs a monster by the tongue, swings it around in a wild, dizzying arc, and throws it as far into the forest as he can. Which is pretty far, considering the massive power in those gorilla arms.]
