It took days for the trio to reach the next star on the map. Unfortunately Laphicet couldn't say they were the best past days of this journey. Hiking to hitching rides, and even sleeping in a barn of all places! He could barely keep up. The air was making him sneeze and his nose stuffy while the squishy ground didn't help with his sore feet. His clothes were getting dirty, especially his socks, and he knew he would have to change soon, but unfortunately for him, sewing while on a journey proved to take longer than he thought. A heavy sigh escaped the silver haired boy's mouth as Sunny called out to nothing once again and flitterdids attempted to pull his ears off his head. It was annoying to say the least, especially since he was hot, bothered, and a little cranky; luckily his tarot cards were tucked away for safe keeping. When Sunny brought up that the forest was trying to possibly eat them, the boy couldn't help but flatten his ears to his head, resulting in some of the flitterdids backing off. [color=#DC143C][b]"E-Eat us?"[/b][/color] Laphi repeated with a confused and slightly frightened look on his face. Most of the color on his face had drained away, except for his bright red cheeks which were because it was too hot. Laphicet chose to let that thought leave his mind, and before he knew it, his attention was brought back to Nyte, who mentioned missing the birds. [color=#DC143C][b]"...I-I don't see why any animal would want to live here..."[/b][/color] He groaned in response to Nyte. [color=#DC143C][b]"It's hot, st-stuffy, and dirty..."[/b][/color] He started complaining as he slowed down and moved behind Nyte to avoid any flora that wanted to come out of nowhere. Before he had the chance to complain about anything else, a loud crack reverberated around the trio, causing Laphicet to yelp in surprise. He didn't have a hard time keeping his balance, however, it did take him a little to start running after the two girls that were rushing towards the noise. Any smart person would try to avoid it, but unfortunately for him Sunny and Nyte were the exact opposite. The top of his head was burning, but his feet felt really cold, Laphicet thought as he finally caught up to the two, staring down at something Laphicet couldn't quite describe. Keeping his distance, the child stood behind Sunny and Nyte, listening quietly for any response to the prior's calls. Thankfully, his ears came in handy as he furrowed his brows a little worriedly. [color=#DC143C][b]"S-Someone's down there..."[/b][/color] He whispered as his ears flattened back down again. [color=#DC143C][b]"A-And they want help..."[/b][/color] He continued, looking at Sunny to see what she would say. He didn't want to do something unless Sunny had taken the initiative.
