"Yeah, well, I wanted people t'take it seriously," the courier grumbled. Drama? If anything, he'd understated the situation! "It was fuckin' huge, man. There was a girl who jumped through the fire with us, auburn hair an'... brown eyes, I think? An' she tried to hide behind me an' the giant... fire... thing just reached right over me and killed her flat with one hand." He scowled at the memory, the fright and trauma of it still recent enough to send a shiver down his spine and make him swallow hard. He jammed his hands in his pockets and kicked a loose rock chip so that it bounced off a couple of 'pews,' angry at himself for being so affected by it still.
"Didn't even know her name. Mouthy thing, but it didn't save her. That thing appeared out o' the smoke an' didn't give us a chance to talk or anythin'." He slanted a glance to Sah, his scowl looking more worried than angry. "It was all fire an' wings an' stone or... somethin'. But bigger'n a building. An' it had this one red eye..." He tapped his cheek right below his right eye. "Like a ruby or somethin'. Lena an' I couldn't take it on our own, but I asked Frey to knock it's eye out only..." He hesitated, then scowled harder. "Only I don't think it was an eye at all. I heard it hit the ground an' it went 'clink', not 'squish.' Weird, huh?"
