Chara fights to their feet with a string of curses. The pakler's struggles have slowed, but not stopped, and Chara lashes out at it with their heel.

Their muscles pull the punch without conscious permission, temper sputters out, and their gut clenches. The strike still knocks the pakler's head to the side, but there's otherwise no damage. What are they doing? They're beating the shit out of this thing they're going to kill, that's what! It's already down. They can just wait. They don't want to wait. There's tranquilizers scattered all around, and Chara drops to scoop up a second one, prepping it to send after its predecessor.
