Forest (108)
-It's not like Aichi's really up to questioning the accent right now.-
-He just looks up at Mary, silently.-
-Yep, you can see it in his good eye. He has no idea what to do, and he's latching onto you for support.-
-It's... what's a word for it? It makes him unhappy. He should be fulfilling his task, but he is unable to focus.-
-...Frustrated. He is feeling frustrated that he is unable to do what he needs to do and is instead latching onto a woman he has never even seen before.-

-...?-
-There's someone else...!-
-...-
-...Does being human mean fear...?-
-...He doesn't want to be afraid...-
-...Is he going to be scared all the time now? Will he be unable to focus, and freeze at any given moment?-
-...Oh great, he's afraid of being afraid now.-

[forum cryptid: it/it's]Eires nodded.
-The angry, axe-wielding man dislodged his weapon just as the grey warrior carved the sickly one in half, dispersing a smell so foul it might never leave the nostrils of those it found-

"Ori when would I lie to you."
The brute kept hacking at the tree, drawing the thinned attention of the others, but-
-Something about this is weird-
-Not just because of them-
