Dhampir's just gonna bounce for now, don't mind her.

Two character things I really like on this page: Duane and Lemuel do not for one second question going after Will. Of course they're going to go after Will, even if they die trying to save him. There is not a moment of hesitation because they are both at heart decent people intent on a better world - yet at the same time, they left Dhampir no other option but to toss Will. Because they don't respect her they wouldn't verbally engage her, even though that might have deescalated the situation.

If Duane had said: "All right, flee. Drop the boy and you can flee," she would have done so. Instead he immediately disarmed her without knowing what that would result in. Duane talks a lot - way too much! - but he doesn't often listen, or meaningfully engage people he has deemed beneath him. This gets him in trouble a lot even still.

And the other thing is I really like Duane flying Lemuel around and Lem not even ever being fazed by his brother's stupid pymary. It's just some nonsense that Duane does, whatever.
