[Watching this with one brow raised and his arms crossed...]

Let me know if you need any help!

[He's just gonna stand here with the others until then kthx]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki likewise... is just watching. He's not the sort to do things on a whim or anything like that. He claps for Pavlova after the first wolf is gone, though. ]

[sailingfor]

[Leans in, says to Mizuki:]

Weren't you going to try eating one? I think nuestro amigo por telefono said they wouldn't be that good, but I'm curious.

[wolfetracks]

( he's just kinda watching this all happen like (john mulaney voice) 'you ever have one of those days...'.

great job, sid. )

[lovelyredthread]

[ He's so confused by the eating thing. He gives a soft little huff. ]

Well whatever you do can you make up your mind? I don't want dad to get hurt 'cause we're wasting time.

[jesterlies]

Nice shot, Cherub! But uh, some assistance would be reaaaaaaaaaaally nice right about now!!

[Guys he's blind, depowered and (he didn't mention this) his body is incredibly frail hahaha oops-]

[mooninthewater]

[ Signing: ] It was a suggestion, nothing more. I'm just here to take orders. But if you'd like me to...

[ Then he's absolutely going to! Or do his best, anyway. It doesn't look like these things have "meat" on them ??? Based on how the other one exploded. But he'll absolutely attempt to noodle the Big Puppy(tm) and try to sink his teeth right into it's neck if he can catch it. ]

[leggierissimo]

[ The wolf is decidedly Not Happy about this! It thrashes in Mizuki's grip, growling and snarling. Unfortunately, it moves too much for Mizuki to get much more than a lick. There is no taste, but his tongue will have the sensation of a limb that is recovering circulation. Fun!

Except the wolf is now very mad and snapping at Mizuki. It can't do much, but how long will that grip hold? ]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki makes a face after he licks the wolf, akin to someone who'd just smelled their expired milk. Why no taste?? Because no meat???? Lame. He huffs a bit, but dons his harpoonbrella to finish the job without sinking his teeth in.

Unfortunately for the little sea jelly, just as he goes to thrust the metal in, he hits the ground instead as it squirms free of his noodles, making him huff in annoyance. This is why he's better at killing people, animals are way more unpredictable. A few more of his tendrils reach out to yank it back, at least, so Shadow Milk doesn't have to worry too much. Do they have bones? Can Mizuki try to break its legs??? Hmmm... ]

[sailingfor]

[Okay, yeah, Mizuki has gotten himself into some trouble. Thorns will quickly take out his sword, coat the blade in a yellow toxin, and—]

¡Mizuki, a tu izquierda!

[—charge at the thing to stab it between the eyes, or what he thinks are eyes, anyway. Hopefully avoiding hitting Mizuki with the poison, too.]

[leggierissimo]

[ It's a direct hit! The wolf yelps sharply, tensing up in Mizuki's noodles, and then begins to fizzle out into static like the other one did.

The phone in Sidney's hand plays a victory fanfare. ]

[wolfetracks]

( he just looks at it. )

Thanks, boss. Havin' fun?

[leggierissimo]

"Having a blast, thanks."

[wolfetracks]

Hmm.

Will you be able to contact us directly if you need to, if I hang up? Planning ahead.

[leggierissimo]

"Once you're in the building, it shouldn't be a problem. I doubt I'll need to, though. I trust you'll do a bang-up job."

[wolfetracks]

Hah... We certainly will.

( i hope you explode him kaed. )

Anything you wanna say before I hang up?

[leggierissimo]

[ a finger on the monkey's paw curls-- ]

"Not really. Have fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

[ No need to hang up, because Joshua will do that for you! ]

[wolfetracks]

( bold words to say to a man who's never actually met you before. )

Thorns, your phone.

( ...

also.

h. he's going to be so brave and give thorns a little kiss on the cheek. )

Good job.

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is beaming at Thorns, signing his thanks. And then he just makes a sort of "aww" gesture when he gets a kiss. Cute... wtf. Get it, Thorns- ]

[wolfetracks]

( 👁️👁️ )

[lovelyredthread]

[ Ah shit. This was not going to plan. ]

Dad, over this way!

[ The others seem to have it now so Shadow Milk should be fine to double back. ]

[jesterlies]

[WHOOPS THAT GOT HAIRY QUICK. He scuttles over to Pav in a hurry once Mizuki seems to uh. handle on the situation.]

[He shifts out of that form as he does, breathing hard. Pay no mind how much he might be leaning on you Pav.]

Nice work, you really got him, huh? You weren't kidding about being a good shot, haha...

[lovelyredthread]

[ Clearly should not have politely waited. He is using the sneakiest healing magic he can. Not that he knows if it would help with fatigue, but he feels bad so he's trying. Very aware any obvious concern would be waved off for pride's sake. ]

Yeah, and that was without my magic added in, but I didn't want to risk you getting hit in the crossfire...

I got a lot stronger while you've been away.

[jesterlies]

[Its not like he mentioned that weak body issue of his and he wouldn't under pain of death.]

[But Pav is observant at least.]

[He lets him do a little healing but he gets back to his feet quickly, saving face. Ruffles the shit out of his hair with a grin. Resummons his staff so he can lean on it instead without it being super obvious.]

Good! You definitely did, hehe.

[He is proud, he isn't saying but it should be in his tone. Lets head back to the door before anything else happens.]

[lovelyredthread]

[ He will allow this again... for father affection reasons. He does squeak at the intensity though, His hair is now a mess of multicolored curls. kinda cool how the layers react to the ruffling. He's quick to try combing them back in place though. His bow's all askew now owwie. ]

[ He shouldn't need the validation. He knows he's a good archer. He's still kind of beaming at the praise though. He'll follow his dad to the door. ]

I'll get stronger too! I want to be able to help you.
