"And what? Keep it for a pet in the harbor back at Kirkwall?"
Darras, with his eyes on the approaching shadow, hadn't flinch at the magical barrier, or the plop of the chicken neck landing in the shallow water. He makes his critique of Alex's plan amicably, without any particular feeling or rancor to it, as he keeps watching the shadow.
Are they cool? It remains to be seen. The shadow reaches the chicken neck and the water swirls, madly, as whatever is beneath the surface falls onto its meal. Darras, his dagger in hand, moves, slowly, in a path that puts him anti-clockwise of the shadow. It is just outside of Korrin's barrier, and he just within, but it gives him a better vantage point.
"Pretty small," he says, after a moment of observation. "Larger than it ought to be, yeah, but nothing that would kill a man. Unless there's fifty of 'em out there somewhere. I say we kill it and bring it back to the Gallows as proof. If there's more out there, we come back with reinforcements. And nets. If I can get it flipped over, and someone can immobilize it--drive a sword or something into its arse, stops it from moving--we'll make quick work of this one at least."
