Hal stepped back as Sentinel leapt up the mountainside. DM, however, remained unfazed. Part of his semi-conscious... felt this sort of stimulation, and greater than that.. but his conscious mind simply didn't realize it.

''"When you put it like that though.." ''DM paused.. as though trying to word his response in the right way. ''"You make it seem like your own confrontations were in themselves' child's play. Hence this isn't child's play for you. It's like.. rattling a rattle for a baby." ''Hal quirked an eyebrow.. just what the hell was he talking about..? Before she could call him out on talking nonsense, they heard a rumble from just a bit further up the mountain.

''"Huh.." ''DM refocused his footing.. looking up near the mountain's peak. "So.. you think that was the Dragon stopping people from seeing Antoine? Or.. was that Antoine himself?"

"If Antoine is as strong as people say he is.. it could be either or, really."

''"Well, no better way to check than to see it with one's own eyes!" ''He looked ahead.. there seemed to be a long flight of steps intricately carved into the mountainside.. they wouldn't need to go all rock climber on the mountain, anymore.. something like this, clearly manmade, marked Antoine's presence.. DM smirked confidently, as he marched upwards, expecting his two companions to follow. Hal walked up the steps behind DM.. though not with the same enthusiasm.
