[In the back of Liem's mind, he's still aware of the third person in the room with him and Sebastian. He continues to keep almost-obsessive track of the different creatures, both multi-legged and not, moving about him during his struggle. But where Sebastian and the bugs present immediate threats, Bondrewd is shunted to the periphery of his attention. He doesn't have the luxury of dealing with him right now.
Except that all at once — as long, gore-filthy arms spring into view from behind him — dealing with Bondrewd suddenly becomes the only thing of importance.
Liem's shot goes high, streaking a full metre over Sebastian's head as his weapon is jerked up toward the ceiling. He hisses at the sudden grip around his shoulders, twisting in an attempt to wriggle free before Bondrewd can do any worse to him, or before some other threat can get close to take advantage of his immobility. The presence of bloody bits of viscera pressed tight against him doesn't make this seem any less likely; of anything, the smell only makes his struggles more intense.
Offering a verbal reply is beyond him at the moment; he is simply past caring about the niceties of civilized language, when violence looms so large at the front of his mind.]
