Ted found the two creatures pretty curious. They both seemed to be wearing crowns, for one, and each had a similar mask engraved with roman numerals. What did it all mean?
His companions various means of dealing with it were interesting, for one. He didn't figure Dairine to just ditch them, and luckily he was familiar enough with magical invisibility to know that she wasn't suddenly spirited away. He had to give props for Noir's pole vaulting. The Shadow's vision was based entirely on movement, and that in a narrow cone in front of them, so they'd probably all have gone their separate ways had it not been for Kaito's steadfast pose.
The creatures were, as might be expected, 100% aggressive. The beetle reared back, as though it were going to charge like the bull it resembled. A red light encircled its form as it gathered strength. The book also took notice, twirling lightly in the air. A twinkle on its spine flashed as a mystic orb crystallized in front of its insect partner for an instant, before disappearing. This would deflect one magical attack back at the user.
Ted didn't like staying his hand when it came to monster slaying, and especially not when there's even a chance his teammate is in trouble. Like Han Solo, he resolved to make the first move. Seeing the larger creature as the more imposing threat, he rushed upon it with his frost-brand, delivering a few jabs to its underbelly.
