Jedao can feel that it's a dead end - but it is narrow enough to shield them, even from the sinuous eel-like shape of the cave creature. He makes a decision, and follows that tug, veering to the tunnel Eiffel chose.
"You first -" Because if it doesn't get tired of waiting and scrabbling at the small entrance - and Jedao would not want to rely on this thing's impatience - he's going to need to deal with it.
"Don't have to tell me twice-" It all comes out in one quick breath, a sharp exhale as he braces himself, and ducks into the tight cavern - one arm first, outstretched to guide his way through the narrow buttcrack of an entrance, ducking to awkwardly crouch his way through.
It's tight for a few feet, but he manages to squeeze through, and lets out a quick "All clear-!" before he notices. It's a dead end. "Uh..."
"It's okay," Jedao says, a little breathlessly. Jedao squishes himself in after Eiffel, and then they can both hear a horrible scraping and scrabbling of large claws in the narrow chokepoint.
"If it doesn't get get bored and go away, I can deal with it. I just - fuck, it's fast." And it's hissing. "Hard to play offense and defense at the same time with something that fast."

"How about we just play defence and make it go away as fast as possible?!" rushes out in a high-pitched keen of panic.

He doesn't need to worry about precision or anatomical differences if all he wants is to scramble the brain from the inside.
When the claws come, Jedao seizes one in both hands and twists until the creature hisses and yanks them back, making Jedao stumble.
