He'll have to see more of that at some point once they're both armed and able to take these guys on more equal ground.

Those thoughts flash through in the blink of an eye and are shelved for later. No time to waste, here. Still completely silent, he fires into the convulsing creature, who's struggling to get his hands back on his weapon to burn Kaidan to a crisp.

"Tough bastard," Rosinante mouths to himself as he quickly makes his way down the street to the fallen Bouldersnake, stumbling as he goes but keeping on his feet.
