The instant Tadhg sees the monster's life energies darkening, the savaging stops as if someone had flipped a switch. He steps back from the bloody form with a thrumming snort, rears, and allows his body to dissolve and contract back into his two-legged form. The corpse is still more or less in one piece, mangled at the center though that piece may be.

He looks over his shoulder at Erik's question. "Whatever's handy, I should presume." No human being should ever sound so contained after trampling anything that looked like his only child to death, but then as he's just amply demonstrated, Tadhg isn't human. The uncanny calm has returned, as if the rage belonged entirely to the stallion, and has now been released.

Something implacable and chill glints in his eyes, though, as he angles his head toward the carriage from which the beast emerged. "I can search this car, if you don't mind taking the other, Malfoy. Unless you gentlemen have another recommendation."

Sword at the ready in one hand, Tadhg kneels to reclaim his knife with the other. Glancing down at the state of his boots and jeans as he straightens, he shrugs and wipes the knife clean on one thigh before resheathing it. A little more gore can't make much difference at this point.
