What did English do to Damara once she fled while Hussie was killing Doc Scratch? You know the whole "How do you expect to outrun me when I'm already there" banners at the top?

On a serious note, it seems likely he either brought her back in time to another point where Doc Scratch could continue twisting the poor girl into a Weapon for English, or perhaps inflicted the Curse that binds her to his service in that moment, pretty much ensuring she would have to follow his command.

However, and consider this. Damara takes a step back, gives him the middle finger, and then insults him in Eastern Alternian. At which point, English seems frozen in place, before crouching down in front of her.

“YOU. YOU SPEAK IN THE TONGUES. OF THE YAOIS. HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM? WHO TAUGHT YOU?”

And they’re both dumbfounded because Damara is kind of terrified but also absolutely done with the skull-headed asshole equating her entire culture to shitty manga, and English just keeps egging her on being both mildly racist towards Eastern culture, and extremely racist towards Troll culture.
