LET GO OF HIM!
*Suddenly, a female kangaroo jumps on Otebon, wielding a long dagger with a handle shaped like a raven. She rolls him off of the crat, then stands back up.*
Go get yourself patched up, Cifero. I'll fight him for now.
"Alright. Good luck, Vi."
*Cifero limps off, pausing only to slip the extendo-chuk to Vi.*
Okay then.
*Vi turns to Otebon.*
What is your name?
