[ unfortunately for rennuid, he is not currently quietly bemoaning property damage in Carseve to himself in front of the two cute, secretly diabolical????? critters he is observing. He is speaking Creature.
The spider currently slipping down a strand of silk beside him says in a tiny voice, ]
[Leon is backing up and wiggling his butt like he's going to show Karte just how high he can jump (it will not be high enough to get Add out of danger, nor to not jostle him) when Rennuid speaks. Immediately, his ears swivel around.
He is speaking Creature.]
Oh, look, it's Rennuid! He can open the door for us when we kidnap Add!
[Karte also stares directly at Rennuid with it's little glowing robot visor, target sighted—]
Yes! He will see Add, and he will think, oh! He is here to see Elsword! I will open the big door for him now! [and not something like "why is Leon dragging Add across the grove by his shirt kicking and screaming"...
but then Rennuid starts making sounds at them. Karte seems to actually pause at this, a thought entering its tiny robot-lizard brain...]
Oh. Rennuid says he cannot. Is there someone else we can trick?
[Said as if Rennuid isn't standing Right There and Leon isn't currently Making Eye Contact With Him.]
He just has to be convinced. They need to talk to each other... but if he won't, Felicity might be able to do it. She seems good at kidnapping people and locking them in rooms so that they talk!
[Head tilt... look at Elsword also not talking to his housemates apparently—]
Not since after Add came back. They fought. And now they're not speaking to each other. We can't get them to meet up again, which is why kidnapping is happening.
Wait, wait. [Karte flies up between the two of them, waving its wings.] Something is strange here.
[looking at Rennuid again... going UP to Rennuid, circling the Rennuid, perching upon the Rennuid's shoulder, analyzing the Rennuid]
You... last time, when I wanted the good scritches, you did not give me any scritches! I asked very nicely! Why would you do that, if you can understand artifact words? Did you withhold scritches on purpose??
[sorry but this is important, the addsword divorce arc can wait 2 minutes]
just like rennuid is doing his best at these skritches. he's still getting used to... animals tolerating his presence... but he does have enough wherewithal to pay attention to what Karte's eyes are doing, and which way it happens to lean into...
Though if Karte leans too hard his arm will get pushed around. ]
Uh... is that...
[ actually, the dragon will... say when at some point, right.......? ]
[Several of their party members have rancid vibes so honestly, there's little Rennuid could do to scare them off with vibes alone. Karte doesn't care as long as it gets the attention it wants. Even Ain gives the good scritches sometimes...
it is leaning into his hand, which makes Good Scritches™ more challenging. luckily, Karte is a benevolent and noble beast who will accept all scritches regardless of their quality. It makes a whirring, motor-like noise from deep in its throat.]
Move more up! Yes, yes, right in that spot... next, the more down part. A little more— yes, there, right there.
[the scritch machine is running low but Karte is still going strong, hungry for more....... until Leon speaks up again and it perks back to attention.]
Oh! Right! The plan! [it flaps its wings excitedly, sorry if one of those thwacks the back of Rennuid's head] Rennuid! You will help with the plan! You will ask Felicity to open the door so we can put Add inside! Then, they will have to talk to each other!
