To this the hippo snorts, and proceeds to reload the pellet gun. Rather than aim right away however, he seems to study the buildings for a moment...and after that moment is over with, huffs once again. "Hardly! Wherever you were kept, it is where you should have stayed! It was the order of the Architects and Great Lilith, after all!" he roars- and with astounding skill, he leaps numerous feet into the air before landing.

...On the end of a pole, somehow.

The hippo takes aim with the pellet gun again. "No matter the excuse, you will all fall to Her command!"
