[glow=#000,1,400]MY MAMA SAID THAT I'M NOT LIVING RIGHT. YOU RAISED A LION, MAMA, I AIN'T LYING, MAMA — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
The first thing that had alerted him to Roy's presence had been the burning scent. Worm was pretty used to the smell of flames when a campfire was going on, or when somebody wanted to cook something, but neither of those things had been going on in camp when he had left for his walk, and it didn't seem as though anybody had started one intentionally, considering the awful burning plant smell that made him recoil and look around in concern. He had gone towards the scent, wondering if perhaps the Pitt had finally decided to get revenge and try to set them all on fire. He thought it was a bit of a shitty plan, since the swamp wasn't exactly the most flammable place of anywhere, but it would probably he poetic, given how Crow had decided to set them on fire. However, it seemed as though whatever this creature was, it wasn't a Pittian. It didn't smell like Pitt, but it smelled like burning and blood and somehow brought to mind pictures of fury and agony and smoke, and the flaming creature made him pause in his steady walking forward, just staring in open amazement at the newcomer. Sure, he had found out that he had fire powers just recently, brought on by the fury of everything Jervis had done, but he wasn't on fire constantly. He wasn't like... this.
Worm was snapped from his amazement by the approaching gator that was rapidly moving toward the flaming tiger, it's jaws open in fury and hunger, it's eyes burning in focus. The lion opened his mouth and began to call out a warning, his claws out and a leg stepping forward to try and protect Roy, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Hey, watch out-!"[/glow] However, the warning was not needed, as the tiger charged forward to meet the creature in battle, and it wasn't long before he was the one victorious, seeming absolutely joyful about his new piece of meat. Worm was stuck in another moment of staring before he pinned his head to his head and quickly shook it, taking a deep breath. He had seen even weirder things since he had joined this group, and it wasn't as if this was the first creature he had seen with a strange looking pelt. Although, he did feel slightly worried as he moved closer to Roy, his eyes lingering on the flames that, although now calmed slightly, still seemed like they could burn easily through his fur and flesh, leaving him charred and smelling here near the border.
Still, the lion couldn't just let this strange soul continue to hunt, flame, and eat wherever he pleased, so he did move forward, his tail flicking in worry from side to side before he finally cracked open his jaws, rumbling softly, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Hey there... nice, uh... nice catch, I guess. I don't mean to interrupt your eating, but you're sort of on our territory, and I was wondering if you could give me your name, and if you would like to join? We're known as Tanglewood..."[/glow] His speech is slightly stunted, held back with worry that the creature will become aggravated and swing his head to attack him on sight, but he still manages to get through the entire little welcoming speech, even with every muscle in his body ready and tensed to fight if Roy became hostile towards him rather than his reptilian prey. He also sort of hoped nobody else showed up, since they would be in even more danger than him, with his superior size and strength.
