Welcome to chaos, everyone 2: Electric Boogaloo. //REBOOT// Open bc literally only three people are active

Salmook: he looks over at Parvus and Tseth. maybe he could put Ater on his head, too? Salmook tries, but Ater is a little too big and a little too heavy. Salmook cradles Ater in his arms like a baby instead. "So the face-smashies means Ater likes me? Then I like him, too."

Rhiv: the second half of Tseth's response ticks Rhiv off. comfort? uh, that's Rhiv's entire job, and he doesn't appreciate the idea of being replaced by a bug-eyed fuzzball. he keeps his expression neutral, but his body language is anything but.

Rhiv: he rolls his eyes and distracts himself with trying to figure out what time it is. he catches a few glimpses of the sun through the canopy, but it's pretty hard to tell. the sky hasn't started to change colors yet, at least, but that doesn't help much.

Salmook: he's not fully used to holding Ater. he drops the cat on accident. it's not much of a fall, but Salmook still feels guilty.
"Oohh, I'm so-so sorry, Ater. I didn't mean to- are you okay?" be reaches to pick Ater up again, but he hesitates and backs up.

Salmook: he frowns a little at Ater. "Sorry, sorry." he puts some distance between himself and the cat.

Rhiv: his fists keep clenching and relaxing. every second he spends in this forest is putting him more on edge. he's not a big fan of the idea that they could be jumped at any time. Rhiv looks over his shoulder and whistles for Salmook to walk with him.

Salmook: he catches up to Rhiv, casting Ater another sorry look. Salmook takes his pater's hand quietly. a few seconds of thinking goes by before Salmook turns to Resh. "Do… do you think you could fly up again? And see if we're getting anywhere?"

Rhiv: he watches Resh fly. how..? Rhiv had assumed that Resh was just wearing a cape. Rhiv rubs his eyes. he definitely needs sleep, but now isn't the time for that. they've wasted enough daylight with the cultists.

Salmook: another face-smashy? at least Ater still likes him. Salmook reaches out to scratch Ater's back as the cat walks by. "Thank you, Mr. Resh, sir!"

Salmook: he hurries over to Tseth and tries to reach up to Parvus. Salmook is, of course, too short, but there's definitely an effort. "Parvus! No! Bad… uh… bad scaly rat!"
