I'll be better than Clara was. [ It's in his nature to crack a poor joke despite Clara not being able to defend herself. And circumstances aside, he liked to think that Tech would agree that Clara's driving had been more than a little bumpy. But again, it wasn't the time or place.
After ensuring Clara was strapped in as securely as she could be, he nods at Tech before starting the ATV and heading back into the dense jungle.
The explosives detonate minutes later sending a reverberation through the trees and he barely spares a thought to the man they had dragged a ways off. It would have been foolish to think that the Sylphid would just let any of what they did go without coming to investigate. But they weren't the only ones that were detonating towers. With any luck, they'd be spread thin or distracted and their escape would go unnoticed. The thought of needing to get Clara back to base camp drives him, going as fast as he can on the ATV without jostling her too much. He needs to keep his eyes on the path ahead of them so he's relying on Tech to be his eyes. ]

Any sign of incoming Sylphid?
