❝ YOU , THERE . ❞ a hefty crash of breath , and the tail swipes along the trail of waterlogged earth . it leaves a dark , swamped streak against the rain - felled grass , and he opens an eye in slow , jaded blink to briefly regard the boy who had fallen to the ground . ❝ my apologies . i hadn’t known that you half - godlings would travel as far as here . ❞ a blunted snap of his maw , and he bares the sharp knives of his teeth , --- one without the rancorous intention of an ill - will against the other . instead , he only lays his head flat against the bed of dew - laden grass , exhaling another fume of fog in one cavernous breath . ❝ ---but come closer , semideus . i vow that there’s no animosity against you , come and remove this dreadful thing . ❞ a quiet swerve of his head , he blinks on fully towards the demigod , eyes burning in full fever - red , flank heaving in the worn effort of each inhale . the cruel head of a lance had found its home through his flesh , and he watches each ticking movement of the boy , teeth bared in slight , guised threat , while the thick pulse of blood continue to remain steady along the stretch of his heavy neck .
