It wasn't fair, not one little bit. Gaston should have been ecstatic about the opportunity for a good fight. Unfortunately, this one was shaping up to be anything but. There weren't enough of the things! Their group outnumbered the beasts, and not only that... They were attacking everyone ~except~ him! It just wasn't right. He couldn't exactly shoot the ones that tthe rest of the group were already fighting. Not because he was afraid of hitting anyone, because he knew he wouldn't... No, it just wouldn't feel satisfying, seeing as everyone else had already started bashing them up before he'd even gotten a clear shot at one.

Scowling as the others battled, he finally took aim and blasted the one that had thrown Robert, even though Alice had already badly wounded it. He figured it was about the best he was going to get from this fight, unless some more of the things showed up and they had a real battle. He didn't think the girl would mind him stealing her kill... Anyway, it was her own fault for going after two of them instead of leaving some for the rest of them!

At least it was now obvious that he wasn't traveling with a bunch of complete wimps. Most of them seemed to be able to hold their own in a fight pretty well.
