Sunny could have gotten discouraged after losing both his sword and his hands in a single exchange with the Thieving Bird.
However, he did not.
Instead, his heart was burning with wicked glee, his mind drowning in murderous malice. That was because he noticed the change their enemy had undergone. Neph's attack only left a shallow burn on the Thieving Bird's wing... but it did leave a burn.
The Cursed Terror had easily shaken off her flames before, but it failed to entirely escape harm this time. Its other wing had a small cut on it now, too — which meant that Neph's command, as well as hexes placed on the Thieving Bird by Sunny and Ananke, were working.
The Thieving Bird was bleeding... so it could be killed.
Sunny was going to kill it.
'I'll admit...'
