The beasts took off into the air, and Finn ended up riding with Deacon.
For the first few minutes of the ride, the golden-eyed man was silent. He simply watched Finn with a small smile on his face, while Finn put up a slightly confused expression, as if wondering what this was about.
Deacon could've gotten to talking immediately they boarded the magic beast. The special artifacts on the back of the creature combined to create a magical effect of dampening wind noise, wind currents and any sort of disturbance to near-absolute silence.
But he hadn't.
He's trying to make me tense. Finn sneered internally, but kept his confused look on his face, trying to make it as real-looking as possible.
"That creature…" Deacon started suddenly. "You know what it is, don't you?"
Finn stared at Deacon, choosing his words carefully.
"Why do you think I do?"
Deacon chuckled, but did not push further. He instead continued to speak like he hadn't asked any questions at all.
