[Kit fluffs up behind him, in the way that birds do when they're flustered. He hasn't run away from anything since - well, since Scales saved him from the Arena in Costamaret, as much as he doesn't want to think about that. And this kid giving him orders. (Not that he's actually any older. But he's the second oldest of seven siblings, and not at all used to be bossed around rather than the bossee, even incidentally in emergencies.]
I could handle it!
[Defensively squawked. But he doesn't actually want to kill the thing if he doesn't have to, and it's not like there's anything right here worth staying for. He sends up a bright hot wall of magefire in between them and the smaller monster, then follows Gansey with the sort of feline saunter that says 'I was going this way anyway, it's nothing to do with you,' but, due to his size, is still quite fast.]
