The two [s]mostly[/s]half-naked members of the taskforce were still busying themselves with some friendly skinship and were, for the most part, unresponsive or disinterested in the conversations and goings-ons around them. Even when [u][b]Janus[/b][/u] replied that they'd successfully rescued the young heir of Tha Oja, the two didn't seem to care in the slightest. However, when the [b][u]Leviathan[/u][/b] brought up the question of what to do next, and suggested something as silly as the taskforce taking on the entire Varjan invasion, Coco's ears perked up and she turned her head to look at the sea dragon privateer.

[color=gold]"Hun, I hope you're joking. Did you [i]see[/i] the amount of ships these black goons had? Besides, the only ones out of all of us who could engage them at sea would be you and that masked woman, so you tellin' me you and her could take down the entire enemy fleet by yourselves, hmm~?"[/color] Coco's words were pointed, but fair. Out of the taskforce, only Stella and Lavi had the the ability to either fly or stay submerged in water. Coco, Gwen and N'yla were all land-based monsters and Vara was a fire-demon... Which wouldn't exactly be the best match-up when fighting over a huge body of [i]water[/i].

Of course, the little baphomet noted that she wasn't getting any more headpats and piped up as well.

[color=violet]"Do not fear, Miss Kitty! Should it come to such a need, I, Gwendolyn of Sabbath, shall part the seas and split the skies to dispatch our oceanic adversary!"[/color] She struck a dramatic pose, pointing up towards the dark night's heeaven, with a confident smirk and sparkling eyes. Coco just ignored her though. The bald mage in red armor then decided that he needed time to heed nature's call in the forest, made up some bogus excuse and left the girls to their own devices.

Not long after, their little pow-wow was disturbed. A young man emerged from a tent. He looked flustered, confused and agitated. He looked around, a desperate and frightened air about him - like a scared little hare, cornered by a pack of hungry wolves. Which, in truth, wasn't too far from the actual reality of the situation, but still. Rude.

The boy managed to somehow find a stick and was not taking on a fighting-stance, holding the improvised weapon like he'd hold a katana. Impressive, if not for being hilariously pointless. Coco put a hand up to her mouth and giggled behind it, finding the entire scene to be both cute and humorous. Meanwhile, Gwen was still posing.

[color=gold]"Calm down, handsome.[/color] Coco started off, purring at the young Shizuyama lord. [color=gold]"We're not gonna hurt you. After all, our friends here did just save you from that beach you so valiantly tried to defend."[/color] The werecat gestured towards Stella and Kirei - though the Shoggoth was nowhere to be seen... Actually, she hadn't seen the slimey maid since returning to the camp... Was she still not accounted for?

Gwen turned around on her hooved ... Hoofs... And spotted the young lord. A big, happy and joyfilled smile spread across her face, like the very soul of the sun, and she bounced up and down, doing happy hops like an excitable child... Her sizeable chest also doing some bouncing along with her. The little caramel-skinned baphomet let out happy squees and yups as she did all of this. it was kinda cute, but very silly. Eventually though, she stopped.

[color=violet]"Fear not, young lord! I assure you, you're safe as one could be, and your chastity has not been soiled!"[/color] The tiny goat-girl stated confidently, not having any grounds or all of the facts regarding the situation - especially concerning wandering tentacles inside the tent of which she had not been privvy. But then again, not having all the facts or all the information had never stopped Gwendolyn from making declarations or saying things before, so why stop now?

Regardless, both Coco and Gwen had not assumed any sort of stance or made any effort t appear threatening or hostile. First of all, a human armed with a stick wasn't really a threat to any monster, anywhere. Secondly, the boy was apparently an Oja, which made him the target of their protection, as the ryuu-lady had ordered them to find and safeguard members of that family. Thirdly, the guy looked about ready to soil his drawers, and while Coco may enjoy teasing others, she wasn't into [i]that[/i] sort of play. So, for now, the werecat restrained her urge to meander over to the young man in a sultry way and playfully poke his cheek. Gwen, of course, was too dense to even realize she was being threatened or perceived as a possible threat, and was thus happily oblivious to the young lord's plight.
