She didn't immediately return to the fight; instead, she leaned against the rocky wall to catch her breath while Thanatos kept the maggots at bay.
His sword moved like a storm.
"You were desperate to send Jack away, but you don't seem to care if I die here," Thanatos said suddenly,.
"…?"
"I mean it," he continued. "Do you hate me?"
Emma laughed softly, shaking her head as she retrieved her staff, having rested enough.
As she stepped forward to rejoin the battle, she answered him while swinging her weapon to release tendrils of Darkness that attacked the maggots.
"Yes, I don't like you," she admitted. "It's because I feel like Jack cares more about you than he cares about me."
Thanatos, still under Neo's control, chuckled, as he deflected a maggot's lunge.
"You sound like a jealous wife."
Emma smirked and retaliated against wave of creatures.
"And you sound like an arrogant ass."
