"Ah." He nods, giving her a slightly embarrassed lop-sided smile. "Okay, then."

He raises his head up to the sky, watching as the eagles circle the trees for another moment as though weighing their options. A branch falls to the ground, covered in flame while the distinct crackling of wood as it is chemically changed sounds in his ears. The wind picks up and with it, the flame stretches higher into the sky, closer to the eagles, forcing them further up.

"We ought to get out of here before the entire forest is consumed by fire," he says. That would definitely not be good.
