This was bad. This was really bad, and for a second, Varian doesn't realise it's Luca staring back at him. He comes skidding to a halt, knowing he's in a lot of trouble if he gets cornered here. He's not well suited for a fight- not against something as big as this. He hasn't got many weapons on him- he'd just raced blindly after Luz- so he only really has his coldblood powers- his grip on those tenuous at best.

He raises his hands, taking a step back.

"Easy, easy- I just want to get to my friend."
