T’charrl sighed heavily, shaking his head. He didn’t know why Haku was making lame excuses. If he didn’t want to keep him company then he just had to say and he could go back down with the others. He didn’t want people to constantly have to make excuses up to not be with him, he was fine with not having company if they didn’t want to keep him company. Keeping his arms and legs dangling he stared down at the ground, watching over it as he tried to find any if there was some out there somewhere. He was sure he wasn’t going to find anything in the forest even if he tried to find something, just spotting all the animals that were down there instead. He was particularly nervous about continuing on and didn’t know if the others remembered, hoping instead it really was not that big and a quick pass. “Colder? That won’t be good either. I can’t cross then…” he sighed, looking off to the side and along the trees, “I can only go in the ship but it would be risky to bring the ship in case we get ambushed, so I guess I’ll just have to try…”

Shu was just going to have to prove to Takeshi that he was good at fighting, that he was fully capable of defending himself. He was strong and Takeshi just needed to understand that, even if he wasn’t the only one who probably thought that way. He was sure the others thought of him as pretty weak too, but that wasn’t his fault. He tried to show he was strong but he scared himself with his ability to change and go completely nuts. Getting a little frustrated with his inability to prove himself to Takeshi he stomped around a little as Takeshi tested having no shoes, tilting his head when he tried to understand how he didn’t stand on anything gross himself. “Look where I go! Can see where I go, no get anything on me. It not hard!” he spoke quickly, bouncing forward a few steps. “Do you no watch where you step? That silly! Why be silly when can be smart? Shu smarter than you think! Always watch where go or step on poison and sharpness!”

Viral didn’t want anything to happen while they were on the other side, especially getting stuck in another reality. He had been through a lot but getting stuck in a world not familiar to him would be the worst possible outcome. He would try his best to find a way out and back to reality, especially when there was people who were counting on him to lead them. Looking to Yumi again he soon narrowed his eyes and looked away, shaking his head. “There will be if they can open one in the first place…” he grumbled, seeing that as a pretty logical method to find their way back. Looking away he started muttering, scratching his cheek. “Just how do they do it though and where what kind of reality exists…where would there be more. Hmph…there would have to be creatures that make those portals. If it’s another planet through there…it would be problematic if they left that planet…but then what are they doing through there? Why are they appearing here through a simple portal? Or is it a singular portal or a rift…but then what’s on the other side…”
