'What is he doing?'
This is the question that Alice, Mary, and Blake have the moment they saw Ashton playing the 'good-guy' card and being friendly with these...creatures.
They don't understand what he's trying to do by acting this way but as they are now in the form of a golden statue and couldn't even move a muscle, much less talk, they could only watch and witness as the events unfold.
"Well, aren't you a brave little one, human? Are you sure that you want to interfere with our operations?"
Someone from the Revenants, as Ashton kindly revealed just now, said.
"Gee, thanks for the compliment I guess. But calling this...act of yours an 'operation' is a bit misleading, no? A 'hunt' is more like it, and you all are like some starving hyena's out in the wild. Wait, do you guys even know what a hyena is?"
"Fucking let go of me!!"
The demon in Ashton's grip ran out of patience. It cocked back its fist and punched him.
