[Ken's tone is mostly just flat. He has a lot of emotions but he's trying to stay strong. He can collapse once it's all over, and it won't be over until Ruana is dead and they have a way to get home. Death is no longer an acceptable risk, most likely - so they have to plan.]

[So he'll either collapse once that's done or he'll be dead.]

And not even a Jason to taunt. Is it bad that I kind of miss him in some ways? I mean they're both super creepy but Ruana is just too weird for me to understand and we come from a world with Shadows and apparently a goddess of night trying to kill everything. Jason at least was a recognizable figure to hate.

[Bluh. Dealing with your own emotions is hard.]
