Viral gave a glance to Shu before watching as the creature instead melted away along with all his effort, this whole journey meaning nothing. All that searching for food and it all melted away just like that, as if it was nothing and a waste of life. Everybody back at the camp was waiting for him to bring something back to them and even if the creature had displayed some acidic tendencies it still didn’t mean it wasn’t possible to check for meat that wasn’t usable and safe. Angry with himself and especially for Takeshi for ignoring most of the fight he growled lowly, looking back at him before away again. How dare he look at him like that after doing nothing to help him, only helping Shu when things were dire for him. Shu being in trouble was fine, but when he was in trouble himself there was no need to call to action.
Dismissing Takeshi, his attention was taken to the shrubs as something was very noticeably moving around in them. Trying to focus on what it could be he spotted the little figures before Takeshi even had a chance to pull them out, noting their strange look which was oddly themed around what they had just encountered. These must had been the people who came from the settlement, but he didn’t have time for those people. Not much caring for what they had to say he slowly moved to turn around before stopping when one talked about him, slowly turning to face it again. He didn’t want a healer, he needed to get food for the others. The others were desperately needing food, they had been out for too long and were probably getting worried. He didn’t have time to care about his body right now, even if it was night time. The sun being down was no excuse for him to give up. Groaning under his breath he slowly followed after the natives, holding his paw to his chest before looking down at the blood. He figured he had lost a fair volume of blood by running, but that didn’t seem to be the case as he still was bleeding. Unless after all that time he was still bleeding due to the wounds being fairly deep, he was not healing up like he was supposed to. He guessed he had to go with these people, otherwise he might not make it back to the camp.
Shu was rather worried for his friend but he was also worried over these strangers thinking they might try to harm them. He could see those weapons of theirs, but as they spoke he frowned and looked to Viral again. They were certainly quick to explain themselves, but then again Takeshi threatening them was hardly pleasant. They certainly had a strange appearance too, like big bugs but less scary looking like the other. Since Takeshi and Viral appeared to be willing to follow them he had to follow too, even if he was not sure about them. Keeping fairly close to Takeshi and Viral he analysed his surroundings and the land they were being lead to, the entire place looking fairly pleasant and somewhat comforting. Maybe they could help Viral out a bit, but he didn’t know why they wanted to just because they had killed a creature that they didn’t know was causing problems in the first place. He felt guilty somehow, like he was taking credit for something he didn’t know about. Watching the people curiously he soon frowned, glancing up at Takeshi. “What we do…? Do we tell the others? They be waiting for us”, he spoke quietly before looking into the building they were being lead to, staring at the strange person inside before looking back to Takeshi, “It smell funny in here…”
