Danger gleams like sunshine
Willing to joke away the nerves as they creep up the stairs, Zavien lets out a quiet laugh as he whispers back, "That's a good point, although Melita might fit a lot of those requirements." Loud enough to be a distraction? Definitely. Invisible? He's seen it a few times. Unable to die? He doesn't know if she's immortal yet, but it certainly feels like it. Overall, he seriously considers recruiting her but holds a healthy level of respect for whatever chaos she brings with her.
The sound of movement draws his attention, a strange sort of scuffling that gives no hints as to what it may be, although he doesn't think ghosts usually make those kinds of sounds. Zavien is about to reach for the door when Koa pipes up. He knows he's just letting him go first so he can get the brunt of whatever insanity lies beyond, but he doesn't mind too much, rolling his eyes with a muttered "Thanks."
There's momentary relief when he sees what they face before he notices just how battle scarred this bird is. He gets the feeling it's faced worse than them. "I highly doubt it, but I'd hate to hurt the thing..." Or more likely: for it to hurt them. Keeping the door partially closed like a protective barrier, he doesn't take his eyes off the cockatrice as he mutters, "Maybe we can smoke it out? The window's already open..."
Zavien suggests they close the door and smoke it out. XD

to a brave man's eyes.
