For several long moments, the jotun and the lady faced off in silence. 

Then it all happened at once. 

The explosion of a flare over head, the gasp of surprise, the blast of a shotgun, the crash of the jotun diving into the furniture and a roar of pain and fury as the shot winged the world eater's shoulder and splattered blood upon the wall and floor.  The jotun dropped onto her hands and knees and threw her head back, noise of rage shaking the windows, a noise far closer to a wild animal than a human. 

And as it roared, fire began to bloom out of its hands, spreading across the carpet and up the walls with alarming speed. Soon in addition to the noise of the jotun itself, the sound of screaming smoke alarms and the sight of billowing smoke issued from the house in turn.

Over with the Runes, Oren had spent the journey silent. It would be pointless to express her grim view on Amity and Makorai's actions, and any logistics that could help at this point were Mitch's area of expertise. Any knowledge she had to impart was coming too late. She was just going to have to hope they took her word for it. 

Maeve's rather mangled delivery of what she assumed to be something like 'I'm with you.' elicited a short nod from the Isa rune, and little else. At least in part as the red-headed woman was not the team member Oren was worried about.

The light of the flare in the sky caused her to bite the inside of her cheek in barely-repressed frustration. Few minutes in and this was already veering off-protocol so drastically there was little hope of returning to it. She had a very bad feeling that this fight might have a number on it. 

As they drew to a halt, the young woman hopped down and turned her head immediately towards the awful noise.
