"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" came a loud, excited scream from somewhere above the girls' heads and in a clear descent, mixing into the cicada's frankly insufferable shrill droning as it approached the ground. Down from the treetops, a plunge far too steep to be considered as anything other than hazardous to one's health by normal human beings, dropped a tall, tan teenager. Right towards the giant bug and feet first in fact. Though that was not at all the way to break one's fall from great heights, in fact it's a fantastic way to completely destroy one's legs, he didn't seem any worse for the wear. The cicada was another story.

With a sickening crunch, Reynaldo Riestra's boot-clad feet smashed down on the insect and squashed the poor creature despite its considerable increase in size. Its loud buzzing came to a sudden halt and its guts splattered around, its eyes trying to center themselves on what had ended it. Rey, meanwhile, looked not at all weirded out or uncomfortable and seemed to be beaming with pride at his catch much like one would after a succesful hunting trip. At least, until Rhian's magic ceased to be and the creature was once again reduced to its not at all impressive but far more natural size.

"Aaaaw dammit, fuckin giant shrinkin bugs. How am I gonna show uncle this thing's size now?" he grumbled, rubbing off some overgrown cicada...stuff on the dirt and kicking the sad little corpse away. Only then did he notice the girls a short distance away, holding hands and rapidly moving away from him. "Ey why you runnin! Ain't gonna do nuthin to ya, was just chillin up the trees!"
