If Tyrian's poison is lethal like many assume it to be, seeing as how he was told to bring Ruby back alive yet was planning to sting the poor girl with it, then following that train of logic, he likely wanted to pierce Ruby with his stinger, spreading the venom throughout her body quicker than that of the graze with Qrow, which took 8-12 hours to spread, incapacitating her. Then he'd probably run off carrying her, and to save her life for his dear Goddess, administer the antivenom. Holds up, no?
