Cobra: Ugh! Just pull it out! Don't slowly tug on it!

Jade: Aren't you supposed to keep these things in?!

Cobra: If you're going to the hospital! But I have a bunch more fighting to do, so it's better to take them out!

Cobra: Not slowly tug on them! That's making it worse!

Jade was aiding Cobra in pulling out the arrows in his back and leg from the battle with Goat.

(Clsh)

Cobra: Agh! Shit on a stove that fucking hurt!

Mittens: Meow, meow.

Cobra: No! Don't twist or move the arrows! Just pull straight out!

Jade: Ughh...! Sorry!

(Shig)

(Frgh)

She pulls the remaining two arrows in his back, leading Cobra to pull the last one in his leg out himself.

Cobra: Goat is getting another ass whooping if I see him again!

Jade: Is he seriously called Goat?

Cobra: Yes. We're all named after the animals in the Chinese Zodiac.

Jade: Except you. You're Cobra, not Snake.

Mittens: Meow.

Cobra: Exactly. And I'm a bit special.

Jade: How?

Cobra: My test went badly and I still survived.

Cobra: Like I'll survive this...

Taking off his jacket, Cobra does his best to patch up his wounds, leading to Jade to quickly take over.

Jade: Here, I can handle this much better.

Cobra: Knock yourself out...

Jade: So where are you from?

Cobra: I don't want to play fifty questions.

Jade: Come on, I'm doing you a favor.

Mittens: Meow, meow.

Cobra:(sigh)... Nowhere. I wandered the world until joining the Zodiac program where I continued to wander after...

Cobra: I'm a nomad, traveling from place to place taking any job that pays enough.

Jade: From nowhere, huh?

Cobra:(winces) Ow!

Jade: Wanna try that again?

Cobra: What are you on about?

Jade: I finally remembered why you look familiar.

Cobra: Eh?

Jade: "Grassvill".

Cobra:... Shit.

Jade: Your real name is D-

Cobra: It's Cobra. My name is now Cobra.

Jade: Alright...

Mittens: Meow, meow?

Cobra: Because Cobra is a badass name. As for why the others go by their names...

Cobra: I dunno....? Something similar?

Cobra: As for you, miss "Grassvill".... Thinking about it now. You were that annoying neighbor girl.

Jade: Says the guy who used to quote action movies.

Cobra: They were good lines...

Jade: Most people think that you're dead you know.
