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 sweetie you're a full-grown man getting jealous of a cat)
Ater: He protests a bit when Salmook tries to put him in his head. When Salmook resolves to just hold him, he stares at Salmook.
Tseth: He pushes Parvus back down on all fours gently and glances at him. "No." He looks over at Salmook and Ater again, holding back a laugh. "You can pet him, too." Hey, what's Rhiv getting so riled up for? His kid being nice to a cat?
Parvus: He chitters indignantly at Tseth, then starts batting at his hair again.
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.
Tseth: A small growl comes from Tseth, directed at Parvus. Pretty much saying "Stop being annoying."
Ater: He shakes himself off after the fall. He wasn't hurt, but he still meows at Salmook, annoyed.
Parvus: He goes still for a few moments, then huffs and curls up into a tight ball on Tseth’s shoulder.
Resh: He continues watching Parvus, amused. “He’s so melodramatic.” He looks at Tseth. “Did you teach him that?”
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.
Tseth: He looks over at Resh with fake offense. "Who, me? I would never." Closely following that is a smile.
Alex: He rolls his eyes at Tseth. "You're really proving your point."
(They’re friends now I take no criticism)
(he says he'd rather go to Eden)
Parvus: He looks up at Tseth, then looks at Resh, offended.
Resh: He wheezes when Parvus looks offended. “He’s you, but smaller and less annoying-“
Juni: She sighs. “Not this again…”
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?"
Tseth: He rolls his eyes. "I'm not annoying. You are."
Ater: He goes over and nudges Salmook's leg, before going to walk next to Tseth again.
Resh: He grins at Tseth. “Oh, I know I am. But so are you.” He looks at Salmook and nods. “Of course I can, kiddo.” He lets go of Juni’s hand, pats her on the head, and takes off just above the trees.
Parvus: He huffs indignantly at Resh, then looks up at Tseth and chitters at him.
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!"
Tseth: He watches Resh as he takes off. Insufferable. He looks at Parvus as he chitters at him. "Yeah, I know." He glances over at Alex. He hadn't been talking much. "You alright?"
Alex: He looks up at Tseth, a bit surprised. "Oh- yeah. I'm good. Just thinking."
Parvus: He looks around, then slowly gets up on his hind legs again.
(Whaaaat He’s not doing anything)
(Literally his main goal right now is to get on Tseth’s head for more than 5 seconds)
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!"
(apologies- got done with a big cleaning job a bit ago and trying to get to all my rps lol, work on this one now)
