Silver waved to Rian as she left the ship, smiling.
"I'll be back, Rian, I promise!"

“[i]Alright, Silver.[/i]” [b]The outside was pure jungle. Green in every direction, higher than Silver could see.[/b] “Keep an eye out for our quarry. Huge damned lizard, looks kinda like a Komodo dragon.”

Edited by Stitch: 1/7/2018 6:05:43 AM"Alright, Theo. I've got this." Silver stayed by Theo's side, trying to sense any sort of emotion that could come from a sentient creature.
-
[b]Eventually, she would feel one. Well, two. Two very different things. Hate and instinct. What did instinct feel like? -blam!- if I know.[/b]
-
Silver felt around for the direction, focusing on it. "Theo, I've got something."
-
[b]It was about a mile to the west.[/b] “Yeah? Where’s it at? We landed at the entrance, might be kinda far.”
-
"A mile west of here." She said, pointing. "Hate and instinct..."
-
“Hm. Sounds a little early-in... Well... Guess there’s only one way to find out.” [b]He begins walking to the west now.[/b]
-
Silver followed closely behind. "Well, it's what I sense."
-
“Not doubting you. Just saying that it could be a different animal. Keep on walkin’.”
-
"It feels dangerous...you think we're safe?"
-
“Oh, we’re not safe at all. Not even in the slightest.”
-
"O-Oh...why?"
-
“We’re in the middle of a jungle, that’s why.”
-
"Yeah, but I can sense malicious intemt, so we should be fine."
-
“Precisely why we aren’t fine, actually. Nothing has malicious intent here. They kill because they are hungry, not because they are of bad intent.”
-
"Oh....Well, I can sense desperation? That won't help much..." She sighed.
-
“Whatever. I’ve been here before. They might remember me, hopefully scared of me.”
-
"Oh, been here before? At least you know something about this place then."
-
“It’s a jungle. All I know is that there’s a shit ton of stuff that wants to kill us and some of the wildlife. Been here, haven’t studied it.”
-
"I didn't mean you know everything."
-
“I know. I’m just saying I know about as much as you do.”
-
"Ugh. You're either not observant or weren't here long then."
-
“I was kind of too busy being mauled by wildlife. It’s weirdly calm today.”
-
"That means something is probably about to kill us so that's fun."
-
“Or maybe the thing we’re hunting is about to tear us to shreds for fun. Oh well, if we die Rian will know. At least then you’ll get your wish of her being free. Or as free as she can be when she’s stuck in a rustbucket.”
