Reiner lifts the gun, and Hakkai shifts his stance. Hands braced against nothing - or seemingly nothing, though a feeling like static builds in the air. He's ready. Just in case the creatures lunge.
They don't. Not right away. The shot strikes true, but instead of collapsing, or dissipating into ash, the creature screams as its mane writhes. That did a whole lot of nothing, clearly. Of course it won't be that simple.
"An astute observation."
Like Reiner, Hakkai doesn't sound too upset by this revelation. He mostly just sounds exasperated. He steps forward a bit, the hands held at the ready abruptly shoved forward, as if he's throwing a large ball - and in fact, he is. A ball of light, energy, rockets toward the already wounded kelpie, striking it in the chest. Aimed for the same place Reiner's bullet landed.
