Briefly, a flash of Dark energy surges up within his chest and he is oh so tempted to make a bloody spectacle of this sailor, a messy statement that leaves absolutely no doubt as to his level of seriousness - but just as suddenly as it courses through his body, it is replaced with something else. An opposing surge, Light and mercy and everything that he KNOWS he stands for.

So rather than ripping out the sailor's heart, he simply severs the organ in two, followed by the spinal cord (no pain is felt, death is instant) as he draws his talons back, eases the man's body to the ground beneath him.

(He does not simply drop him to the dirt.)

With one hand (not the one that was just buried in the chest) he reaches up and closes the sailor's eyes; he is listening to Kreyu with his ears, doesn't need to turn to look at her to see that she is fine.
