For the love of all things juicy and tender, where on earth were all these wingless monstrosities coming from? First it’d been that blonde man parachuting his way down on him, then the crazy demon girl, the jack-in-the-bush, and now… a very peculiar girl who sounded like she’d been let out of the crib a few years too early. Were it not for her agonizingly chirripy voice Zeke might have bothered to take note of her delicate features, but unfortunately now was neither the place nor time for that. For starters Emily had mentioned his ears and tail, and that brought back memories of the first blonde man. Now that he thought about it, these ‘creatures’ looked a lot like himself with the exception of his ears and tail….. were they…. Jealous? Did they want to cut of his ears and attach them to their own skulls?

Shaking his head violently, it was at that exact moment he noticed someone had snuck up behind him. A cold shiver shuddering down his spine as he heard the menacing voice of the demon lady for the very first time. The affirmation that these creatures meant to cause him harm didn’t soothe his frizzled nerves in the slightest, hence… without any hesitation he grabbed a hold of Emilie’s hand. Squeezing on it a bit roughly before yanking her forward towards him, swinging her a bit to the side before shoving her right into Akiko. 

Akiko’s words really hadn’t helped at all, as Zeke now realized just how possible it was that he’d be roasting over an open-cook pit in a few hours. There were already too many wingless birdmen around, and if the current pattern of things was anything to go by, there were probably a few more lurking in the bushes. Wide-eyed and panicky, he ran straight for Ian in a mad desperate charge for freedom, narrowly he missed a full on collision, intentionally knocking the poor youth over as he sped past and headed towards ‘home’ using the shortest possible route he could think of. 

These people were crazy, outright out of their minds.
He needed to get away, and the only place he knew he’d be safe was locked away from scary scary nature.
Not even bothering to check if he was being followed, Zeke sped along through the thickly forested area, believing that those behind either would learn their place and leave his poor ears alone.
