[Could this have gone better? Well yeah, duh of course, this could have gone heaps better, he could still be on top of the horse. But it could have gone far, far worse. After all, he's still alive, isn't he? Both legs not broken, head all in one piece, bones are all pretty solid. Scuffed, lightly singed (having a shaven dome was a boon today), and sore but otherwise fine. Once again, he's managed to escape the consequences of his actions and no lessons have been learned! He'd reacted almost instantly when Kimmuriel snagged him, kicking off from the ground to help them both through the portal to the entrance of the tunnel. The blazing horse managed to send up one last horrifying scream before the portal itself closed, the sound of it ringing through the tunnels before dimming away into silence.

Very exciting.

He'd not however, missed how the beast's hoof had struck Kimmuriel during their mad dash to escape. Bad idea? Yes, definitely not one of his better ones but he wasn't going to say that, briefly inspecting his hat before popping it back onto his head.

He's bothered. Don't be injured, please.
