((Sorry I’ve been busy with tests. What’s "kiled", Iokuri?))
Removing his hand from within the belly, Kail successfully retrieved some artifact indeed. Kails hand was dripping with stomach acid, eating away at the outside of the birds flesh and places where it dripped. Yet Kails demon hand was not hurt, though his brown cloak sleeve was being eaten by the acid. Kail gave his arm one hard thrust down to try and fling the stomach acid off. The artifact seemed unfazed by the acid.
“hmmm, magical?” Kail questioned to himself, “probably the bird could regenerate, to be sure we’d need an expert.”
“what is she staring at?” grunted Zaick.
Kail looked up from the artifact, his eyes met where Nayumi rested on a tree. Still standing by the fallen bird Kail was unable to make out her expressions. Using his free hand Kail pulled up his hood and started toward Nayumi.
((hows that?
