Somehow, Phillip manages a snort, even with his mind very much distracted by that drive in deeper. The pace is slow enough, still, that he can talk. "Big, no. Scary, I suppose it depends. Though 'true form' is... honestly quite relative. He certainly didn't always look like that."
What is the 'true form' of any being that can change themselves at will, really? The form Phillip had showed him that first night was a (smaller) version of the form he took in Amaurot, but what he'd seen from Hades... perhaps that was more like a manifestation of his soul, with the artifice of appearance stripped away. And he would certainly argue that, in that case, the image in front of him was not Gustavain's true form either.
