(My version is floofier tho…)
"Good" firiko got to his feet

(Nice.)
Reed stood up, and straightened his clothing out.

"Aee you coming or not?" Asked firiko padding around impatiently.

“I’m coming, hold your horses, jeez.”

"Then come on already!" Said firiko who was ready to go.

Reed purposely went as slow as possible just to spite him. He smoothed his clothes out again and stepped toward Firiko(you couldn’t really call it walking) as slow as possible.

Firiko sighed and shook off the fluffleflies and padded up to Reed slipping under him in about 2 seconds then allowing the fluffleflies to land on both of them as Firiko padded along.

“What ARE these things?” Reed asked.

"These are fluffleflies" said Firiko flatly, not bothering to say anything more as he started off down the tree-branch causeway.

“Pardon?” Reed asked, not sure he’d heard right.

"They're fluffleflies" said Firiko once more, "They're harmless, adorable, and annoying." said Firiko shifting a little under Reed's weight.

“If you say so.”

"Don't worry about" said Firiko hopping down to another branch, losing a few of the floof's as he did so, (they come back) "They do this all the time, and it's actually a good thing, it means that there's no danger nearby. Which means we can relax, which means we can go our merry way until they leave, at which point we have to be careful."

“So it’s like a warning? Perfect!”

"Almost" said Firiko, "Except for one thing"

“What?”

"Fluffleflies tend to spook whenever Miricos flowers are nearby," said Firiko, "And Miricos tend to grow pretty thickly on the forests edge, particularly the western edge,"(which is where they're headed)

“Great. The one warning we have, out the window.”

"Eh, Don't worry," said Firiko, as they approached the edge of the forest, -Some of the fluffleflies flying off in accordance- "We probably won't need it"

“Here’s hoping.” Reed said flatly.

About 15 minutes later they came to the edge of the forest. With all the fluffleflies gone now you could see how Firiko's fur shone a brilliant flame red in the sunlight. Coming out of the forest in a lush valley you could almost feel that something was wrong just by the silence of the area…

“Firiko……”

"what's wrong?" asked Firiko, tense because of the silence of the area.

“This feels….wrong. Really, really wrong.”

"I know.." said Firiko
