An absent sort of agreement. He turns, teeth gritted, to begin laying ice thick as he can over the frame. Stray flakes of frost drop delicately to the pooling blood below.
But his head's pounding, chest tight, and Alan knows it isn't only nerves. He's overextended himself: needs time or assistance if his spellwork's going to be of much further use. He shouldn't have spent it so early in the night, finding that girl's cat, satisfying his own curiousity. He shouldn't, and yet —
A warbling mew from the darkness, and a fat, furry shape butts itself against Beleth's hands.
"Arise, Aegis of the Faith. You are not forgotten." Alan murmurs, mostly to himself. "Hello Stripes."
As he reaches out, the tabby hisses, and launches himself down the hall into the gloom. Alan's hand drops to pull Beleth up.
"Come on. He wouldn't run towards danger."
Honestly, he might. Cats aren't bright. But it's not like they've got another option.
