Oh, that caught the guy's attention, alright. Korbin leaned down, propping his elbows against the counter and looked sideways at Glas, eyes glittering. It was too bad he couldn't hear his own voice... he would've had a grand time spinning a yarn out of that incident.
"Thought so. I'd just stepped out of the portal, and there it was. Came sweeping down out of the falling snow, with scales glistening like silver in the light. It landed, and looked at me. I swear, I thought I was breathing my last. But then..."
He made a dramatic pause, eyes fixed intensely on Glas, mouth just barely able to hold back a smile.
"...then it spoke. I could hear its voice inside my head, and it said... 'Oh pardon, I hope I didn't frighten you!'."
He twisted his chords into what he hoped was a high pitched sound, exaggerating the polite tone Jigano had used to ridiculous proportions.
The truth was incredible enough, in this case. He didn't even have to twist the facts to make it difficult to believe.
