He was really hoping to get a little more out of that. But - fine, he's at least on his feet again, and the stunner isn't aimed directly at him any more. And while he doesn't want it aimed at Soinia either, it shouldn't actively hurt her despite the point blank range. Just stun her really, really hard ...

Sorry, Sonia. He's not going to listen to you on that one. Even as she yells at him to stop, he launches himself at Tarn bodily, grabbing for the arm with the stunner. He is not a tall man, nor a heavy one, and his combat skills are best suited to surprise rather than full assault here. But he does have a weapon, courtesy of having joined up with the rest of the soldiers. Not much of one - swords are too unwieldy, and he'd dropped his earlier in the fight to go for the stunner - but he has a knife stashed at his belt for emergencies. Now he pulls it out with a glint of steel, slashing it up at Tarn's arm.

If Tarn still wants to take her, fine. But Miles is going to fight tooth and nail, no matter what she tells him to do.
