Darion couldn’t help but grin a little at Winnie’s words.  Sounded vicious.  Completely different from what he had gotten used to from most Aviari over the month.  He can’t say he was surprised after what he had learned about Winnie, and what he had heard over the past few weeks.  And he could say he couldn’t fault her for the feeling and desire.  If someone had tried to impersonate one of his friends and try to trick him, he would be vindictive as well.  Even more so he wanted to do about the same thing to the creatures who had slaughtered the aviary city.<br/><br/>Beyond that he didn’t comment anything though, he had his own problems to deal with, the beast infront of him.  Even the shattering door only got a quick glance before he was focused on the growling… growing beast infront of him.  He would let Winnie and Eira deal with the demon.  He had a bigger and bigger problem on his own hands.<br/><br/>He didn’t have much more time to think though as suddenly the beast leapt from the side of the room.  Darion set his feet in a stable stance, one leg behind, his torso forward as he braced for the beast.  His blade came held up infront of him.  The flat of the blade forward as he braced it as well with both hands, one on the far face of the blade.  He brought it up to catch the beast, as the jaws clamped down on steel instead of flesh.  Darion met the growl with one of his own as the beasts weight pushed against him for a moment, but never pushed him back more than sliding him against the deck a few inches.<br/><br/>But Darion stopped the beast with his strength, his muscles straining.  But the beast was still growing… and probably would still keep growing.  He needed to get the beast out of there.  He could find a way later, now he had something else to deal with as he began pushing back against the beast.  Ducking his head down between his arms as a guard against swiping claws, Darion advanced, trying to keep the beast on his blade, not giving it a chance to get it’s fangs clear to push the attack… at least until Winnie was out of the cabin and he was able to think of a way to get it outside… or it gave him no other moves but to pull his sword away.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
