The Noctaere was practically cackling, a few stones vibrating with the noise, earth shifting near it as if it was more fluid than solid. Eyes glowed from the dark spot that showed eyes, and it was clear any other bit of face was hidden by dark and light stone that made up it's skin like armor. No wonder this thing probably had an easy time tunneling- and good thing it was trapped within dream-dreams or no doubt it could cause havoc elsewhere.

The lunge no surprise either. 76 didn't mind at all passing the lead to Kainé, giving her room with that sword as shadows wrapped around hands like sharp clawed gauntlets and even around digitigrade lower legs for the same. Get all the grip he could when he finally moved from the tunnel out in to the open.

If this thing was earth and soil- could that mean...?

76 swung himself to the side and practically pitched a ball of bright blue electricity at the Noctaere as it started to move in to the ground as if to avoid the swing of the blade. Caused the thing to freeze up and take at least most of that swing before flinging back.

There was the muffled sound of glass breaking as it moved again- "I might be able to help slow that fucker down enough for you to get some solid hits!" There was sand mixed in there with whatever else this nightmare creature was made out of. For however long it had any, he could attempt it.

Reckless was something he was good at, for better or worse. Quick on his feet, too.
