[Chirithy doesn't squawk, but it does jump at the headpat and wave its arms up around its face, hopping back from Rise as it does.]
Be careful! You can't just touch someone, you know! [There's another couple of hops in agitation before it settles down, pulling its cape down with a little wiggle to make sure it sits comfortably over its back.] Maybe you can - we'll have to see. And it probably won't be here; I haven't sensed any Darkness, and I don't think he will, either. At least nothing that's unusual for this area. But it doesn't feel like you have-
[And at that point, Ven gives a long sigh, relaxing his stance and letting his muscles fall into a momentary looseness that drops him from his statue-like pose into a slump, then straightens up into his normal posture once again, shaking his head much like his Chirithy did earlier.]
Nothing odd here, at least not in this area. I couldn't get as far out as Aqua could, but this was where all the really bad stuff happened, so I'd think if there was anything to find, it'd be here. Right?
Mmm-hmm! [Chirithy bounces over to him, easily hopping the glass that might have cut its feet, then jumps higher than it looks like it should have been able to to reach his arms. Ven catches it and gives it a boost, and the cat-creature clambers over his shoulder to hang, backpack-like, from the back of his pauldron, head next to his.] It makes sense to me. There could always be something we don't know about, but since you didn't find anything this is more important right now.
["This" clearly being Rise and her mysterious world travel, as indicated by Chirithy nodding in her direction while looking at Ven. Ven nods back, then looks back at Rise with another smile, stepping back over to her.] If I need to, I can come back tomorrow - are you ready to get out of here?
