Just a bit. And given that the stunner is now officially in play, he's in desperate need of an exit ... Maybe one more pithy comment before he goes, and that's it.

"Not so automatic as you think. Consider it." Though at this point he doesn't give a damn if Tarn believes him. He darts in close for a dangerous moment, slashing the blade hard at Tarn's wrist. And then - he just drops the damn thing, instead turning to run. Zigzagging in an effort to avoid the stunner shots he'll almost certainly have chasing him.
