Herd? ~🍭

Herd doesn’t move or react other than giving a simple thumbs up :)

Whats wrong?

Through the portal, standing on a floating island was a lone figure, couched down. A pair of beetle wings on his back fluttered as he loooked up at the group.

G-guys?

Oh-

Oh no.

[hlvrarg]

Hey hey lion boy. You never answered if you could purr or not

We can find out right now.

Herd reaches over and pets Damien on the head.

* purrrr purrrr purrrr *

[hlvrarg]

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE ~🍭

Herd has stopped responding, other than a slight twitch here and there.

I’m sure you’ll comtinue to keep your mouth shut for now.

Say one word about this and i’ll make sure you wont be able to ever use your damn mouth again.

The void fades back to the labs.

[hlvrarg]

Wait wait! Can't we talk about this? You don't always have to squash them!

I-

I’m not scared of yo-

H-h-h

How can I help you?

[hlvrarg]

Okay Damien, you need to distract him. You got this

HERD!-

Damiens tail wrapped around his arm, catching his eye.

Herd leans into him, hand shaking as it tightened’s its grip. He whispers once single phrase.

....get me out of here....

Damien comes in close, hugging herd slowly.

You son of a bitch. You're going to be fine. Just stay with me for a while.

Damien said rubbing his back softly.

Herd curls up slightly to match Damien’s height, pressing his face into his shoulder.

This isn't some fucking cheesy movie.

Gman said opening up digital screens.

[hlvrarg]

Could we distract him from Gbitch?

One of Herd’s hands has grabbed onto Damiens’s shirt, other still tapping.

HERD- YOU NEED TO FOCUS-

Herd looks up at Damien, the glare coming off the lenses of his mask just long enough to see his expression.

He is terrified.
