Clatter-clatter. "Krrrr?"

"Mrr-yap!" 

Telerand sighed, holding the squirming purple critter up and away from the larger, nosy tagalong on the ground. "Scap, stop following me around."

"Krrr... karakara~?" The skeletal scavenger pawed at Telerand's pant leg, cocking its head questioningly. "Krrrr-hrrrrr?"

"No, I don't need help, and what are you going to do about it anyways?" Sweet solar winds, it looked like the boy's habit of looking for something to do carried over even into this form. "Just don't get in the way and let me focus."

"... hrrrrr... clack-clack."

"Mmrr-yapyap--" The tufted mini-drake in Telerand's grasp squeaked fearfully, wiggling around. It hissed at the bigger creature below, puffing up its neck fluff in apprehension.

"Shh, Paiko. Let me bring you somewhere quiet and safe so I-- oy! Blue blazars, what did I say about getting in the way? Are you trying to trip me?" Telerand nudged the scavenger with his foot. "Do you even understand what I'm saying, or are you deliberately being a nuisance right now?"

The clattery scavenger would not back off. Finally, Telerand reached into his back pocket and withdrew his collapsible staff. "You want something to do, huh? Go fetch." He chucked the staff as far down the hallway as he could, enhancing the throw with a bit of his time-phase ability.

Bony claws scrabbled on the floor for a few seconds before the creature finally took off at full tilt to retrieve the staff. Even after he disappeared around the corner, Telerand could still hear the sounds of clattering and collisions with walls and other obstacles.

Promoted to Zookeeper for a day. What promotion? It's not like they were paying him now. Hah! What a joke.

"Aultiver had better find a way to reverse this soon, or I'm dumping these two in his lab."
