Spoiling for a fight

"I hate to break this to you, mate, but we're going to hafta go now.

Tranum was incredulous. "WHAT? DAVE, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE!"

"I know. But something unexpected just came up, and it kinda requires my immediate attention."

"But...!"

"Damnit Tranum! We need to get going!"

"Okay, fine, geez! You don't need to yell!"

"My apologies. Now, can you try to get a bit further away from the virii so I can get you out?"

Tranum rolled his eyes. "Alright. Since you asked politely."
At which point, he turned on his heel and ran full tilt in the complete opposite direction of the virii, muttering something about cowardice under his breath.
