He'd tried, of course, quite a bit--deprived of anything else to do, he'd once dedicated an entire afternoon to getting back down there, but it had been to absolutely no avail; he'd spent a great deal of time and energy developing new tricks since then, but... hmmm. The gears of evil thoughts were already turning, devising new plans and strategies even as he stood over the fallen teenager.
"Well," he said finally, "That'll just have to wait then." His gaze flicked back down to the human cowering on the ground, tears of despair and terror in its eyes.

Just what he liked to see.
