Isn't that why he had made the journey into the desert in the first place? All he'd wanted when he had set off was to get away from civilisation, to find some place he could hide away and stop that thing from hurting anyone else. The thought sent an instant pang to his chest, and he remembered too late that the demon could read all of his thoughts. Doublet sighed and mumbled a halfhearted apology beneath his breath. At least the entity seemed to be dormant for the time being, leaving him to control his own body as he pleased. Now longer were his paws stained with the telltale white of possession, or the red of the aftermath. They were just the same coffee brown that he had come to appreciate over the past few months. Perhaps Clickbait's sudden passiveness was luring him into a false sense of security, or maybe he had been unprepared for the loneliness that came with isolation, but either way it was hard to turn from the smell of other animals on the breeze. Doublet chewed nervously at his lower lip, turning his paws to face the source of the unfamiliar scents. He could see a rainforest below him, residing within the canyons that he was making his perilous trek across.

Maybe this time Click would behave, and if they didn't, then at least it looked like a nice place to stop and grab something to eat. He wasn't built for the desert, after all, and any attempts at hunting had been fruitless. His stomach growled, pushing him past the last barriers that his mind had set up and forcing him down into the lush territory of the Rosebloods. What's the worst that could happen, he thought, and tried to ignore the swell of excitement he could feel coming from Clickbait's soul.

"Hello?" Doublet called into the darkness of the rainforest, the fur along his spine prickling with unease. It was unfamiliar and... somewhat scary. He had never been in a place quite so packed with vegetation before. The smell of wildlife made his mouth water though, and he shook out his fur to fight off the humidity that was seeping in. If there were animals around, surely they couldn't be too hard to find. He set off into the underbrush, avoiding anything that looked too spidery or serpentine. The last thing he wanted was to be bitten by something dangerous, especially after coming this far. Who knew how long it'd take to get medical attention while in the middle of nowhere? Blue eyes swept over his surroundings as he proceeded to creep deeper into the territory, tensing at every rustle and flutter of wings.
