"Wow, wow~!" It's the soothing tone of the beast, a break in the jittering chaos wreathed by flame and darkness; for the creature, it writhes and snarls and lashes out with jets of its emberfire, and the hunter - his eyes alight, bloodstone, watches on with arsonic curiosity. "Go, Staggy, go! In-cre-dee-ble Beastie! Row, row! Pow, pow! Boom -- ᶜʳᵃˢʰ, fwₒₒsh!" He seems to take himself out of the combat for the time that the other takes center stage, motioning and editorializing the encounter. "You can do it! Roooooar~!"
The Staggy has joined their fray, bellowing, billowing, and the fires seem to do little to impede his coming charge - they do, however, halo him, and the roll out of Momiji's wrist takes care of the rest. He faces a sudden halt in his erratic entertainment, head limping as if on a weak hold down his shoulder and popping his lips in a rustic growl. "Hunt."
The word echoes from an array of magic seals that complicate Karstaag's wake, the word resounding in a rough caress down his stout frame only to brighten his edges with this angelic blessing. This would allow the dwarf his chance - under divine grace - to both catch and keep away with the salamander, should he take advantage of the spritely nature gifted to him. If nothing else, it guided his blow to an angrier quadrant of their prey, scaring it to the haphazard skittering it took in attempted escape. Momiji took a dark interest in his observation - it wasn't until Karstaag spoke up to pass the buck, a baton clasped within lithe fingers, that Momiji reclaimed his mantle as apex predator.
His grin split slow. It took his face, closing his eyes, and masked a giggle that found its release in the click of his teeth. He was there, dimly lit by tangential heat, only to be lost again; and when he reappeared on the other end of the building, he was sitting, cross-legged. He dangled his feet off a storage chest in the path of the breaking beastling, its strangled cries cut by its own indignant animalistic fury, revving up with a gullet of flame constrained not in the building shape of its mouth. They sparked the air, lashing out, and the illumination lent Momiji's shape thus:
He glowed, roughly, along his edges. It flowed off in lacquered blue, alike to steam in presentation and the dissolution it hit inches off his frame; wisping upward, only to better brighten his face. It stared down without mirth, his eyes deep, aventurine pits, for they burned harsher than the glow of his sidhe unleashed. The air got colder. He was an angel of this coming winter, a herald, descending upon an insignificant beast to hush its smoldering rage. Its instrument of will, strung from his finger and teetering in the darkness, was spun to a tight flick; pointed from an odd direction down the barrel of a revolver with sights set on its prey.
Impassionate, the hunter culled the beast. It dissipated with a numbing flash from gun's muzzle, frigid green the last of all light before fire was snuffed to quiet darkness once more. It left only that boring green, cutting through the shadows, before he blinked them close; and within moments, returned to Karstaag's side with his regular bouncy disposition. He skipped around him, cheering. "We ᵈ ᶦ ᵈ it, Staggy, we slayed the beastie! Wow, wow, Staggy! Momo and Staggy forever! ⱽᵢᶜₜᵒᵣᶦₑ!"
He'd stop only to drape himself over the dwarf, his face falling like a theatrical mask. "Are you hurt real real bad, Staggy? Oh no, ₒₕ ₙₒ, Momo's worried. Momo will kiss it better, o~tay?"
