Clearly this is something personal. Sato graciously drops back a half-step or two, letting Rey actively take the lead as they pace onwards. There's no question that there are plenty of monsters in here, so he's fine with letting her have this one.

Less focussed on the specific creature ahead, he glances around again and can't help but notice that there's clearly something else -- many something elses -- staying just out of the flickering lights. Without comment this time, he smoothly slides the axe back into its loop on his belt, opting to switch to the machete again. He'd originally picked up the axe for something with a little more weight behind it. But this might call for a little more finesse.
