Saix watched the girl move away, back towards her allies, before he turned himself, keeping hold of his weapon even now, and walking towards Axel, and Aerith.

He said nothing as he approached. He was tired, and their hunt for the Chocobo Eater was probably best delayed until tomorrow, but aside from that, they didn't seem to be suffering too badly.

It could have gone much worse. If Aerith hadn't roused from the sleep effect when she did, it would have.

He knocked Axel in the side of the head with the flat of his palm once he was close enough. "You are a self sacrificing idiot," he said, coldly, and without preamble. "If you do that without a functioning healer in our party again, the enemies will be the least of your concerns."

Axel should know what 'that' was meant; Darkside.
