"cheh! you okay there?"

if they weren't, well. anyone's blood wouldn't automatically fall to childe's hands this time, which is relieving in of itself. honestly, no matter how dire a situation is, the harbinger can't help himself. he moves without hesitation, despite being stripped of resources - this time it was a very close call.

he hadn't batted an eye at his company until ensuring his own miraculous safety. childe approaches them, scuffing both palms together hastily, his smile anything but apologetic. there's a certain twinkle of thrill in his eyes.

"that was a close one! actually... pretty sure whatever that was is still alive." again, he hasn't got much on him. childe is pretty much bare, but, despite how infuriating that is, it adds to the flavour of an improvised fight. "uh, do you know where any shelter is? i think i see something in the distance. better run fast if you don't want to be caught in the claw of that beast. or whatever it was!"

Missed this one somehow. Dropped for you!

That wasn't to say there wasn't a time and place for everything, including moping around or worrying about what the future might bring. But Nian knew that there was much more out there in the city. And considering she was already holding a pretty well made kebab in her hand (sadly, not as spicy as she wanted) maybe Spirale wasn't that bad of a place.

"I mean we all got siblings or a family back home right? Every screenplay's gotta have their ending if they want to make a masterpiece in the end. We're just some poor unlucky saps. Gotta make the most of it instead of worrying too much." With that she held out the rest of the meat on a stick with a smirk on her face.

"Want a bite?"

LOCATION: FOSS ISLE

it's quieter here than some of the other places dan heng has managed to wander to, but just as disconcerting - after all, it's not every day one is so fortunate to encounter a dinosaur in the wilderness.

for the most part, it's been a matter of being mindful of their surroundings. so long as they're careful, they can stay out of trouble. and so long as they don't let their focus slip, they likely won't meet an unfortunate (and untimely) demise.

it's easier to take care of himself when he's on his own, but maybe it's second nature (or something like that) that makes it difficult for dan heng to cast his gaze from someone who may or may not need help.

for example - this stranger looking suspiciously closely at what dan heng has already determined is a venomous plant.

" sooo, " he begins, "how bad of an idea would be to steal food from the dinosaurs?? "

he's dead serious.
