Into The Stone Pool Once Again

Although it took a while, both girls soon recovered enough to stand. Ruby and Leona had gotten their emotions under control so that they were back to their usual selves while Laz spent time comforting both of them. He really couldn't blame them. There is a big difference between fighting and killing a human versus fighting and killing a monster. The main difference is that humans could be read, be it their facial features, body language or actions. Monsters, on the other hand, would simply kill you as soon as they were able to. And there was nothing to read either, at least not at first. Therefore, fighting monsters required a much greater degree of concentration and was therefore more mentally taxing. There is also the fact that their bodies were unlike a human's in that it was much harder to kill. That mental exhaustion was what lead to the girls being so worn out.
