T’charrl didn’t get it, he didn’t know if he was the one who was the problem and if Haku really didn’t want to be up here with him, feeling like he might had just forced him up. He didn’t want Haku to think like that, he just wanted some company that could maybe talk to him about stuff instead of leaving him on his lonesome. Maybe Haku didn’t mean it like that, but it sure did feel like he didn’t want to be up there and was just going because he had accidentally dragged him into something he didn’t want to take part in. Frowning as he looked away he surveyed the trees, trying to at least do his job and not disappoint everyone else by being unable to do a simple job. Wondering if Haku even liked him he rubbed his claws together, feeling rather insecure before he slowly looked to Haku, smiling a little at his response. “Really? Oh…that’s good. I don’t even know if I’ll be any good at this because I barely know the creatures, so it would be nice to have some help…” he spoke, staring down at the trail of trees below, “I won’t be very good in a desert, anyway, so I might as well make myself useful here…right? I really don’t know how I’ll do in the desert…”

Shu huffed, bouncing in frustration at what Takeshi was saying. He really was just making him sound like he was a weakling who constantly needed help, but that was the complete opposite of what he was. He was scared sometimes, sure, but he was still capable of fighting and being strong when everything came down to it. “Ooh! Not afraid of the thing! Other reasons to be! No need this time I is having hope!” he spoke quickly before letting out a huff, “I natural fighter! You watch me fight and win and be good at it”. It frustrated Shu that he was seen as helpless when he knew he wasn’t, he just had his fears like anyone in his position. It wasn’t fair for Takeshi to see him like this, like he was incapable of defending himself. Sliding his feet through the grass in frustration he soon bounced forward, giving Takeshi a look when he decided to take off his shoes. “You no do it as much as me so it would be strange to you!” he squeaked, tilting his head a little when he decided to go straight for a mud puddle to test it, “…Shoes feel weird for Shu…”

Viral didn’t know where these beasts were but if he was going to be played in charge he was going to try his best to find where they were and hopefully accomplish his mission. He didn’t have the greatest of confidence in his seeking skills when it came to these creatures, especially when they could ‘melt’ and move around that way. It was going to be difficult trying to find them, but there is also going to be the problem now regarding how they would handle them if they became too exhausted. Thinking through all the risks and problems they might run into he barely noticed Yumi talking to him, giving her a side glance before looking back to his path. That was certainly a concern of his and he couldn’t blame Yumi for asking him that, especially when it was another risk that had to be considered. “I will try everything to prevent that from happening, but if it does happen I will try everything within my power to get us back”, he spoke, shaking his head, “There’s so much that could go wrong, but if it’s something I can prevent or fix I will try everything to fix it. I’m supposed to be in charge of the group, so I’m going to keep everyone safe”.
