Josh doesn't dare twist around in the speeder to see just what Delia is up to back there. They're still under fire and something is trying to herd them back up round toward the base where those far too accurate for comfort sentries are waiting to fill them full of holes. Josh's weaving has been cut dramatically with their flankers' approach, leaving more of those shots glancing off the speeder, and them if they're unlucky.
Somewhere in the middle of the chaos Josh has already been nicked by a blast though it only shows in the small grunts he makes when he throws his weight into swerving the speeder.
"Th'fuck was that?!" His shout is only barely heard over the din before the grenade goes off. "JESUS CHRIST FUCKING CHRISTMAS CAKE WHAT THE FUCK--!!" That last swerve is entirely reflexive and it nearly sends them both pitching off the speeder before Josh gets it corrected and they continue on racing back toward the torches, all but exploding out of the tree line in the wake of Delia's actual ordinance.
There's a sick crunching of falling trees snapping everything that's in their path as those blown up by the blast crash through the frozen forest. Between the blast itself, the exploded terrain, and the snow that's been whipped up their pursuers will find it damn near impossible to keep up writh them now.
