Theo stood up to look at him properly.
He could clearly see the craziness in Garrick's eyes.
"But what I am curious about is how you could see better than my falcons." Garrick added, genuine curiosity evident in his eyes.
"It's the Merrick genes, Sir Garrick," Theo replied smoothly, masking it with a little bit of lie. "I have been able to see far since I was young."
Garrick looked at Theo in a new light and nodded profusely.
"What did you see in the south?" Theo asked, bringing the man back to track again.
"A very, very large beast," Garrick said. "That might be why my falcons didn't notice it earlier. It must have moved closer recently."
"A large beast?" Theo couldn't help but sit upright, all traces of sleepiness in his eyes vanishing in an instant.
"A beast that big, what is it?" He asked in urgency, making the man's eyes turn golden again.
"It's a reptile-like beast again, young master. It looks to be the shape of a dragon, but it's nothing like that."
