[ Jade hasn't considered that the creatures might not be animals. Really, if they were people behaving like this to the behemoth, they'd deserve a very stern talking to! ...Much like whoever organizes these missions, if they aren't planning to help Liam out once they've gotten him away from the city.

She frowns when Sans brings up the bloodshed angle. She hadn't thought the process through to the most "sensible" conclusion, but... hm. ]

There has to be a way to protect Liam without just killing the other creatures! It's not their fault they're hungry.

[ That whole food chain thing is tricky to deal with though. Carnivores eat meat, and meat is other animals, and this is exactly why she used to be a vegetarian. It's a real shame meat is so delicious. ]

I suppose they do have to eat something. But I'm not ok with it being Liam. [ Even if that's being a bit arbitrary. ] I wonder if there's some sort of repellent we could figure out. Something that says "I'm definitely not delicious, don't taste me to find out for yourself".
