Of course Rutile is concerned about the colors of the sky! There are far too many of them, all at once. The sky is not supposed to look like that, which everyone, locals and Dreamfolk alike, seem to agree on. What's even more chilling is the thought that it might be Rutile's fault.

Anyway, it's definitely Valdis's voice Rutile is hearing, which means that it cannot be a hallucination, since they would hallucinate something far more pleasant. The human is nowhere to be seen, though; certainly not within audible distance, though to be fair it's difficult to make out anything more than the silhouettes of party-goers standing near the bonfires.

In that direction though - here Rutile hesitates - there is a new shadow, a much stranger one, somewhat closer to the ground and featureless save for the two eyes glowing in the firelight. Rutile watches as the giant creature pads nearer, and then bares its teeth, marveling at both the grace of its movement and the magnificence of its size.
