[Ack, and the head movement makes Anders jerk back instinctively, like he's expecting an attack. At any moment this demon could shove its pointed face into his face, take an eye out in a heartbeat, and he really isn't in the mood for the labor of repairing his own eye right now.

The girl is most likely gone, he figures. There's no reason to assume otherwise, even if they'd been holding hands (gross) just heartbeats ago. Anders himself may have been alone in the woods when the world abruptly turned itself off, but he knows better than to expect the scant few people he gives a shit about to conveniently pop out of the ground.

Dig, then. If you're so certain she's with you, she'd be in there. [He gestures, you know. At the ground. Dig.] And if you don't find her, feel free to bury yourself in advance.
