Hold tight, the Balladeer does.

He leans over Daine's neck and grips her mane tighter than he ever meant and even draws his legs up against her orders as zombies start approaching from the side. It nearly sends him flying when she pulls up short, but a hoof takes out the nearest zombie and he manages to right himself. He's never been afraid like this before. Assassins are one thing - he knows people, he can deal with people. But this!

"The air?" he yelps, but doesn't get a response before they're in the air. It's obvious they won't make it over the wall, and he shuts his eyes as he presses himself down against her back -

- and then she drops out from beneath him altogether, and he barely has time to shout before something grabs his arms. The Balladeer, luckily, has enough presence of mind to just go limp instead of thrashing.

As quickly as the new form appeared, it's gone, and he's tumbling through brush and down a hill. He lands on his back, hard, knocking the wind out of him for a moment. It takes a few moments after Daine calls out before he wheezes back, "Did you just turn into a dinosaur?"
