[He doesn't really need more warning than that - has fired on less, as necessary - and just makes sure to fire well-away from Damen, picking off the creatures trying to scrabble over each other, or around the back at the tall man hacking through them with ease.

It doesn't take long since the nest wasn't large and there's hardly any problem covering the short dead-end tunnel between the two of them. A paw floats past him, neatly severed, by the time he throws his rifle over his shoulder again and draws the knife, wandering over to check the creatures over. He's a good shot, but the light down here isn't the best. In the end, there's only one, which feels... pretty good.
Shaking his head, he looks up and over, and can't spot anything, but... he remembers catching a pulled swing here and there, a bit of stiffness in the movements...]

[Earnest and concerned. Cloud might not be well over six feet tall and broad-shouldered, but he'll do whatever he can, during or after a fight.]
