[The call for his name makes him turn his head toward Fern, startled to see the boy here. His arm tightens around his bag of belongings, and he tenses up. This is a difficult situation, but most importantly, they should ensure that no one becomes harmed... but nobody has been actually attacked either, he notes quietly to himself. Which is curious.]
Fern-- be careful!
[It's about then that he notices what the large beast does, even though he doesn't entirely grasp it, even if it makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up and the rest of his body shivers uneasily. All he knows is that those people under the sludge need help, even if the beast is now focusing on him.
So he shakes his head at Childe.]
Help those people. They need you, not I.
[Setting his bag down, he looks at the giant monster. He tries to consider that, perhaps, it is not entirely a mindless beast waiting to be vanquished. It hasn't outright killed yet.
So. Maybe.]
I know not what manner of being you are, if you even understand me. But whatever urges you feel compel you, you need not follow them. It would be easy for you to destroy. Wouldn't it? But you have not so simply.
You can leave now, and no one must be hurt, or worse.
Rest assured, I am too familiar with battling one's worst impulses.
