By traveling faster, he hadn't exactly meant to fly in the air on the back of a dragon. His eyes were wide throughout the entire flight, the rushing air stinging them but he refused to shut them. He had never been in the air before, and he was leaning over the side of the beast the whole time, a childlike wonder filling his mind. It's not as if the world below was beautiful... not with the only colors being brown and gray anywhere they went. The entire world was covered in grime and poverty, nothing beautiful about it, but Shaun found an amazement in looking down at the land as if he did not belong to it. He wished he could stay up in the sky forever, not having to return to the nightmares that plagued the ground below.

Too soon, the flight was over, and Shaun descended the winged creature a bit longingly. His mood had lightened considerably because of their time in the air, and he found himself smiling a little as he followed Mavek to the hotel they would be staying at. He wiped it off of his face once he realized it; this wasn't some leisurely vacation, he had to be in his working mode.
At Mavek's question he just nodded, a serious expression now on his face. He could feel heat pumping through his blood now, the demon was supposed to be here and that meant that he would be fighting soon. No more thinking and feeling sorry for himself. This job was already tiring, something about his client had him thinking about things way too much.

"So... where is this thing anyways? Am I just gonna go storm it's lair and attack?" he said, a sarcastic grin spreading his mouth.
