Viral wasn’t going to give her a chance to retaliate by playing around with her even if that was her aim, he still didn't feel like playing around at this time. He was going to be pretty brutal with her if she wanted to play around, especially when there was a lot of worry riding on whether there was something in these waters they didn’t know about. Swimming right at her he made a leap right at her, managing to tackle her successfully with little effort. Grabbing hold of her he managed to force her under the water, pulling back when he was able to get his feet back on the lakebed he gasped when Yumi instead decided to clamber up on him, almost losing balance at the sudden weight he waved his arms to try and get balance again. “Hey! What are you-!” He didn’t know what was going on but it was making him very uncomfortable, staring at her in annoyance when she finally settled only for him to growl when she decided to paw at his face instead. “Get off me already!” he growled, moving his own paw up and pushing at her face in return to get her to let go.

It didn’t matter who owned the money, Kai still managed to get Kaesstrian money and managed to secure their ability to get proper food without hunting. If Kabocha thought he was taking all the glory just because it was his money he had another thing coming. “That coinage isn’t yours; it’s your parents”, he muttered, shaking his head, “And you’re not rubbing anything in anyone’s face! You were an ass to her when she was trying to be helpful”. Maybe he should do the talking to the woman and not let Kabocha speak, hopefully that will make everything better too. Getting the food was their top priority and they were hopefully going to get a lot, but where they were going to take it to eat was something they hadn’t really thought through yet. Maybe there would be somewhere to sit to eat and if not they could probably take it away with them pretty easily. “You know, maybe you’d have a mate if you were more polite to women”.

Shu probably had less of a clue to what he was supposed to do now since he was found by Takeshi, or at least made Takeshi think he had been found by him. It was most likely that he was supposed to just hang around with Takeshi until they found the others, probably not telling him if he saw someone; however, with that wonderment it sounded as if Takeshi was completely giving up on finding the others, wherever they may be. “Ooh! Lunch break? You never found the others, though”, he squeaked, finding it a little silly that Takeshi had given up that quickly; however, Shu was still happy to have lunch now and hopefully the others would eventually show themselves, “Friend T’charrl! Where you be? Friend!” He didn’t know how they would find T’charrl other than him responding to their calls, but the brief moment of silence made him wonder where his friend actually was, bouncing along the trees as he tried to have a good look around for him. “Ooh! Friend where Friend?”

T’charrl did want to try and flee again but it was most likely that L’esta would persue him and see him as a potential danger to the area and the local population. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do about this and was indeed scared of telling L’esta who he was, but when he noticed L’esta get ready to take his blade he was certainly beginning to feel scared that things will go south very fast. Hissing gently he tried to gently move away, hoping he might be able to find a way around this. “No one…no one! Leave me!” Suddenly throwing down his fists he snarled and reared up out of his camouflage, trying to scare L’esta now that he was out of options. He didn’t want this to happen but with the others nowhere in sight he had no cover and was essentially cornered, only hoping L’esta would flee before anything bad happened”.
