[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!
