Leon laughs a little, glancing over his shoulder at the guy. "What, you don't trust me?"
He's joking - it's not like this man has any good reason to think his offer to fight these things is more calculated risk than noble sacrifice. His grip shift on the knife, gaze darting between the two starry figures. Getting in close and trying to push them back in melee is a non-starter, since apparently they'll try to absorb him if he does that, but the scorpion at least seems to consistently rear back before striking, giving them a little bit of breathing room. The humanoid is a little trickier though, but since it's the one between them and the inn that does mean he's got one good option.
"Think fast!" he shouts, and pivots on his heels to hurl the knife at the aurora creature's chest. It staggers back, stunned, and Leon grabs the other guy's arm and starts running, aiming to make it past the thing before it recovers.
