It was two against one in favor of using the explosives to try and kill the Krayt dragon, and Ruzaan sunk back into his seat as his plea went unheard. There's no way we need explosives to take care of this he thought to himself; one good lightsaber strike should do it. Maybe the explosives are an ok backup plan another part of him argued; he more or less trusted Tiberius' lightsaber skills, but he had no idea if Emilia was capable enough to strike with precision.
Emilia's announcement was met with affronted silence by the Togruta. Of course she wanted him to be the bait! She'd probably planned this since they moment they'd met, and had only given him the water because she needed him alive the next day. She probably wouldn't even wait until he was clear of the explosives before detonating them!
Grumbling to himself and making up pretend arguments with the Sephi that he inevitably "won", Ruzaan set about unleashing his frustrations on the ground with a shovel, helping Tiberius bury a set of explosives.
~~~~~~
One hot and sweaty hour later, the trap was set. Although digging had helped, Ruzaan felt his sour mood returning as the final preparations were made. He usually didn't mind taking risks for other people, but that was usually with the understanding that they would also do the same for him; he had no such delusions about Emilia. Marching out stoically towards the mouth of the cave, Ruzaan started halfheartedly yelling and waving his arms in front of the cave, when the cave started moving towards him. Ruzaan's heart thudded deep in his chest as he realized just how big Krayt dragons were; and this one was truly a monster. Oh... my... k-"
Unintelligible sounds started emanating from the Togruta as he turned and raced as fast as he possibly could towards where the explosives lay buried.
