AS FAR AS HE COULD RECALL, these creatures are from a bygone age, and everything he's noticed up till now seems to SUPPORT that assumption. no plant he's ever seen in his planetology studies, not a single one. it fascinates him, this glimpse of what gaia may have looked like untouched by shinra's hands, perhaps even untouched by the cetra. there is BEAUTY in this savagery. he can't say that he wanted to be here, but perhaps here is PRECISELY where he needs to be.
but one thing confuses him, and that is the ANIMAL who approaches.
for a moment he self doubts the nature of his location, for the first thing he notices is not the cat-like creature, but the chat box that FLUTTERS between them. the words aren't even noticed, but instead an abject desire to understand just what the hell is going on! if it weren't for his strained, but not unkind relationship with red, perhaps he'd QUESTION the appearance of the cat, but instead — —
❝can ya run that by me again?❞
@phasemacha liked for a starter.
