"I can just teleport it." Which, sure, theoretically he could have done before biting into the thing, too - but if he missed because of its struggling, and didn't manage to lodge it underground to suffocate, that would only have meant a living ID on the hunt somewhere else.

That's the reasoning he's sticking with.

Speaking of teleportation, and it being Mithrun's solution to absolutely every problem... Mithrun's wings flick outward, a huffy little half-flap. "I didn't have a projectile on hand, and it was right there. And it worked, so it doesn't matter."

He knows why it matters. There are a lot of reasons it could matter, ranging from simply practical to existentially horrifying, but he sees no need to examine a single one of them, thanks.
