"...stop it. Don't kill him. Please. Don't..." she said, tears streaking down her face.
Rohan's roaring head immediately cleared, and he turned to hold her, but she turned away from him and went down on her knees close to the human.
With trembling hands, she checked his breathing. She sucked in a sharp breath and cried out, "He's... he's not breathing. He's not breathing..." She looked up at him with fear and anguish, more tears streaking down her bruised face.
Rohan stood in place without moving. He couldn't believe how she could cry for someone who had been forcing her to leave and had also hit her. Unable to watch her cry for the loser on the ground, he bent and wrapped his fingers gently around her upper arm and then said, "He has a heartbeat. He's knocked out. He's not dead."
