"Is that… a varterral? Another one?" Hawke was understandably incredulous. "I'm sure I killed it."
Merrill tried to explain, but he didn't seem to hear her, given his complaints that continued even as he scythed his sword into the creature's legs, even while he was spitting caustic spittle out of his mouth, he still gave vent to his outrage.
"I know I killed this!
"It's not allowed to come back once I've killed it!
"Void take it, just die already!"
Given his outrage, Merrill decided to wait until later to mention that it would be back if they ever returned.
