❰ the lack of response does nothing to quell emil's fear -- if anything, it's now heightened as his whole body tenses and trembles at the many snakes hissing and writhing above him.
for as quickly as it came, however, it darts and disappears. the impact and movement just before it are fast enough that a few quick blinks would have meant missing it, assuming it to be a hallucination. it's not until minato is out the door for a few seconds that emil loosens up, letting out a breath he hadn't felt caught in his throat.
he's seen creatures like this, he decides. like that fiery eagle he himself seemed to conjure back home. some benevolent creature that's completely fierce and terrifying, but fortunately on your side. it doesn't mean he's at ease with that...wriggling thing he just watched destroy the door, but at least he can escape easily. and he doesn't have to bruise his shoulder doing it. ❱
Hey. ❰ it's half-squeaked into the air around him, before his brain catches up to what's just got on. he scurries out the gaping door frame, tripping over the stop before quickly tromping down the steps to catch up to minato. ❱ Hey! You shouldn't go out there alone! Even if you know magic!
❰ once minato is within reach, emil grasps his shoulder as a marker to steady himself from his fumbling, hoping that he doesn't make it too far without some kind of plan or idea of what to do now that they're set free. ❱ Even if whatever magic you have is insane.
