Snippet #2384475

The man's eyes slit as they had before as soon as the light erupted from the bird, growling painfully as it burned into his flesh. He wanted to drop it. More than anything did he wish to fling the thing away from him, but he held on to it. He held on, to prove to not only Talos, but himself that he still served this light, although it pained him now.

When it turned to the bird, he released it, gazing at his hand shakily. "E-ellie, I'm alright.." He muttered. He turned his pained gaze to Talos. "It's just a burn.." He muttered quietly. He would have done the same thing to Talos, if the tides were turned. His hand was seared worst than anything else, and the smell of burning flesh and ash was in the air.

"Ellie, stop hitting and shouting, or so help me, you'll be tied down in this room for a day.." He grumbled. His temper was short now. "Do you believe me now?" The last question was directed to Talos as he showed him his ruined hand.
