Viral had no idea what was dragging him away but he was disappearing fairly rapidly into the depths completely out of control. His arm had been snatched and as he flowed backwards through the water all he managed to do was stare at the fading light of the surface before his eyes slowly made their way back to the creature. So there was something in these waters, he wasn’t just assuming it, but what he hadn’t counted on was it seeing him as prey. Not having the focus to fight it off all he could do was try and slide his arm out of its jaws, pulling at it as he was dragged down. Managing to release the creature’s grip it quickly grabbed onto his leg in retaliation, determined not to let him get away. He was still feeling too disorientated to retaliate properly but he was able to get a good look at it, its dark nasty looking face with large eyes and teeth made it look like a giant salamander with massive glasses on. Finding it hard to justify any reason to not retaliate he soon threw his fist down at its nose when it wouldn’t let go of him, its jaws almost releasing his leg if only to try and snatch at his arm as his bleeding was the only thing driving it to attack.

Kai let out a groan, rolling his eyes. “Because you’re the one who made fun of them in the first place! If speaking your language doesn’t help then how do you expect me to teach you about the better things in life like manners?” Kabocha really didn’t have much when it came to an ability to learn, but maybe he would soon get it through his thick skull once he saw having manners only brought him good experiences. Maybe if he saw he could get the best quality food by using manners while exchanging the money he might change his attitude towards the woman slightly, but if not then Kai was just going to grab those coins off him and buy the food himself. “You didn’t need to hang around Takeshi if only for going on missions, you know. She probably saw you as the pity party”, he sighed, shaking his head, “You may had gotten one thing out of those girls, but they got more out of you than you could ever get in return”. Finding it hard to believe Kabocha would be able to win those girls back now he sighed lightly, his eyes only drifting slightly when he realised Kabocha was giving up the money again to him. “Hm? If you’re so sure. Don’t you think you should use the woman as practice for getting your way with money once again…”

Maybe playing hide and seek with T’charrl was a bad idea, or rather having him as a hider was a bad idea. If he was a seeker they could had kept an eye on him to make sure he was okay, but now he was somewhere in the unknown and they couldn’t seem to find him. He was worried that his friend had run into trouble like what he was avoiding or was having another nervous breakdown somewhere, but hopefully his friend wasn’t in any of that kind of trouble and was just slightly missing from sight just now. Feeling a little concerned at this point he looked around to try and find some hint that his friend was still out there, giving Takeshi a quick look again when he called out for T’charrl once more, this time through the scouter. As usual there was no word from him, his head tilting as if trying to pick up any possible noises that may be out there. “Is he saying anything? I don’t hear him calling…is only you who can hear if you call on scouter? How do these work?”

T’charrl knew he couldn’t stand his ground for much longer if things were going this far south this quickly, his immediate reaction being the urge to charge through him and hope that would disorientate him enough to allow his escape. He didn’t think he could keep still enough to use his camouflage effectively at this point when he was already on the edge of his nerves and would probably shake or breathe too much to keep hidden. Dropping down he tried to seek mercy, but just as quickly L’esta met his show of mercy with his blade pointing straight at him, his large eyes staring at the point. L’esta was trying to make his mother sound benevolent but he knew she would do more than that if she saw he wasn’t back to normal yet, even the journey he would have to take to get there would reveal him to everyone and ultimately cause everyone to fear him. He could hear Takeshi call out to him but he couldn't do anything about it, not while L'esta was staring him down with a blade and threatening him with action if he tried anything that showed hostility to his own people. Gasping when he was shouted at his fur stood on end, suddenly hissing and throwing his claws down. “Never will [i]you[/i] or [i]ANYONE[/i] trust a monster!!” Letting out a snarl he unsheathed his own hidden blade in his arm, trying to parry off L’esta’s weapon. If he couldn’t do anything with words to get him to leave then brute force was needed as much as he hated to come to that conclusion.
