[Meanwhile, Asami is about five seconds away from jumping down and snatching that weapon away from him and hacking her way through if she has to. She's already formulating strategy when he says to cover her ears. It's not exactly easy to do without jumping off, and she practically puts him into a full nelson. She'll apologize later.]

Whoa! [She somehow wasn't prepared for the brightness of it all, and it takes a little while for her vision to clear. When it does, she's relieved to see that the creatures ahead of them are gone, and any that are left are keeping their distance. She hops down off his back and moves to look at him, the expression on her face unreadable at first.]

You...

[Then a foot stomps into the now-mushy ground, her hands balling into fists thrust down at her sides.]

Are you CRAZY?!? You might be fireproof, but I'm not! And what if we're still in the zoo? We're going to have to pay for this!

[She'll, uh, get around to the thanking part eventually. Just let her vent a minute.]
