Resh: He smiles slightly when Ater bumps his hand, then glances at Alex. “Ah- happens to all of us. There’s a reason my hands are mostly made up of scar tissue-“ He chuckles to himself, then tentatively moves his hand to pet Ater.
Rhiv: he's a bit offended and a bit relieved. it's just Tseth. he'd rather it be someone else, though. "Morning to you too, Bastard." he crosses his arms and gives the fakest grin he can manage. "Guess who wasn't mauled? Yet."
(I definitely didn’t skim over the name and freak out for a half second wondering why Salmook said that)
(gasp he would NEVER-)
(THATS WHY I WAS PANICKING AND Then I read the message correctly and died inside :))
Tseth: He barely pays attention to Rhiv, staring at the rushing water of the river. It was hard to tell his facial expression— Neutral? Scared? Concerned? Perhaps a mix of all of those. Nonetheless, he moves closer to the river.
Ater: He accepts Resh’s hand, seemingly content around him now. He purrs a little as Resh pets him.
Alex: He tilts his head at Resh. “Get cut often?”
Resh: He continues petting Ater, tilting his head. “Yep. I fidget a lot, and usually I'll start fidgeting with one of my knives- which is obviously not a great idea, but it hasn’t killed me yet. It’s gotten pretty close, though.“
Rhiv: this is something he could get used to. he doesn't particularly like Tseth, and the longer he keeps his mouth shut, the less inclined Rhiv will be to break something. Rhiv turns to the direction Tseth came from. "Anyone else there?"
Salmook: he's busy laying dramatically on the log, sprawled out like a squished bug. he jolts up when he hears a voice in the distance, though. "Juni! That's- Pater! Tseth found Pater!" he starts bouncing like crazy, getting himself exhausted all over again.
(springle)
Tseth: He quickly washes his hands in the river water, staying as far away from it as he can while doing it. Which wasn't very far. When finished he stands up, and immediately returns to the edge of the treeline to wait for the others.
Alex: He nods, listening. He removes he cloth from his hand, and the cut has stopped bleeding. He picks up the knife again and starts finishing up sharpening the sticks.
(Quick question what’s a springle)
Juni: She blinks a few times at Salmook. “Oh- yeah, that’s him. I guess- Don’t bounce around too much, you’ll tire yourself out again.”
(apparently, it's either a spring-based trap for animals or a five nights at freddys springtrap/mangle ship-)
(I was aware of neither because it was the first nonsense-sounding word that came to mind-)
(Interesting)
(Pringle with an s at the front)
(Wish.com Pringles)
(Prongles but Worse! Yes Prongles are indeed a thing)
Salmook: he stops bouncing, but is still visibly excited. "Pa-ter!! We're coming!!" he hops off the log and power-walks in the direction Tseth went. it's not quite running, so hopefully he doesn't get as tired.
Rhiv: he takes note of Tseth's aversion to the river. that could be useful. maybe next time Tseth starts to mouth off, some water to the face could help. just a suggestion. Rhiv sighs when he hears Salmook's voice. damn it. he relaxes his shoulders and waits.
(Hey Rhiv how about I strangle you :D)
(Also I think you forgot to finish typing)
(sshh I was distracted-)
(you saw nothing-)
(Hmmmm)
(If Rhiv does that, he gets stabbed.)
Alex: He stands up and goes over to the dead deer, and then crouches over it. He’s going to cut some of the meat from the deer, and then it can be cooked.
Resh: He’s now completely distracted by Ater, scratching him behind his ears a bit.
Juni: She sighs and starts following Salmook, a little nervous about running into Rhiv again.
Parvus: He suddenly jumps from a tree onto Tseth’s shoulder, chittering.
(I definitely didn’t forget about Parvus so I will now say that he ran off somewhere and hope that I’m correct)
