Claws retract back to their normal, and his attention is now focused at the beast lying dead on the ground. Dia picks at some of the scales that grows on the back of his hand, always somewhat uncomfortable after he uses his powers. The biting cold affects him more than normal. It makes Diamont sound almost a bit cranky at times, preferring the comfort of the campsite. Right now, he travels with-- and the person said himself -- an ally.
"I did not expect to hear this from you." Comes the quick reply, pulling his cloak closer in order to retain some kind of warmth. "I should have picked something else...
