Choi and Kai looked between each other when Takeshi further questioned T’charrl’s disappearance, Choi looking back to Kabocha to see if he would speak up but he was remaining silent as well. It was really difficult to explain, he didn’t even know if Takeshi was even allowed to know just incase the Queen managed to reverse whatever had been done to him and make it out as if nothing had happened. It was definitely making Choi feel guilty, he didn’t know whether it was making Kai unsettled but Choi was used to telling everything in a mission brief and that had definitely been a mission. Maybe he should wait a bit before saying anything, especially with Shu there all staring and looking for answers too.

Kai stared down at Takeshi as he spoke to him, shaking his head a little when he doubted that he had actually done anything, “Look, you may had not fought the battle, but all we did was make sure the Prince was okay and…that much we managed to complete, sort of”, he spoke, giving a glance to Choi before back to Takeshi, nodding a little, “You did most of the work and want to help us, so why shouldn’t we give you something in return?”

The blades meant very little to the twins, neither of them were weapon experts and definitely didn’t know how to handle a blade unless it was a kitchen knife and chopping up carcasses and additional harvested goods. Watching as Takeshi picked up the blade and analysed it, he stepped backwards and glanced over at Kabocha, wondering if he would want to say anything on the matter. It was hard to tell whether the guy was showing off any concern or had anything to say to encourage Takeshi. The guy was lost in his own little world, a little annoying considering they were having to do all the talking and making sure the kid didn’t freak out over the Prince and that Takeshi didn’t get angry and try to go and find him too.

Watching Takeshi test the sword, Kai tilted his head slightly when he spoke, giving his approval over one but showing how little he actually knew about them. Letting out a sigh he shook his head, frowning a little, “You know, you’ll get a sheath made for it and pull it out whenever you want to use it”, he spoke simply, acting as if Takeshi was a lot more simpler minded, “You’d use the back of it for the blunt edge and the other side for the sharp edge. It acts as an extension of your arm, you know? C’mon, it’s not that hard, but if you don’t want the pair then I’ll give the other to the Queen once she comes back. She shouldn’t be long, hopefully”.

T’charrl’s energy levels were in a terrible state which well reflected the lust for a top-up, only daring to consume the one thing that was in front of him that would give a high dose of it. His body shaking with uncontrolled power and fury, his eyes only went to the blade that could easily threaten to pierce his body and damage him. Clenching his claws as he slowly stood up some more, his body cracked into place and the branches shifted above his head as he made one final movement to make a grab for his mother, his claws coming down at her to take hold of her and pull her into his mouth.

Just as his claws were close to her, he wasn’t deaf to her speaking his name as it pierced through the unbridled fury and primitive nature as his claws stopped. At the drop of the sword and the muttering words of his mother to him, his claws remained hovering in the air before he slowly pulled them back, panting heavily as he moved his great hulking body. Only now was the realisation that he was about to eat his mother getting through to him, his aggressive eyes suddenly fearful as he pulled back, grunting and gasping before he backed off into a tree and accidentally tearing it out of the ground with his size.

Everything he was fearing now was happening, he was so sure he could keep himself under control but it still proved to be outside influences that kept him sane. This monstrous beast he had become had only remained dormant, his slightly more ‘regular’ appearance was simply a disguise to what he truly was. Raising his bulky arms to his head in a feeble attempt to hide his face, he turned around and tried to flee from her only really succeeding in stumbling away and banging into a few trees before falling over his own massive feet in a pathetic pile.
