[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]
Wiggles. It's a pretty odd name for the large lion, but he doesn't do much about it but just blink in surprise and feel a faint embarrassed heat come to his face. He wasn't used to having his wings be called pretty, so he just gave a soft nod to the newcomer, and a little smile as his wings twitched. He looked back down at Sam when she spoke up, and he let out a little amused chuff before rumbling, [glow=#165042,1,400]"You know as well as I do that you didn't need to come all the way out here to keep yourself entertained. Hell, you probably could've just gone to Feza's house. She could keep you entertained for days."[/glow] He shook his head a little before paying attention to how she was standing, noticing the way that pretty much the entirety of the doecat's weight was leaned up against one of his powerful legs. He didn't do anything to get her off of him, instead just straightening up a little so that she had plenty to lean against so she didn't fall over. When she said that she would show Eternalwar around, he winced before rumbling softly at her, not wanting to point out the face that she was leaning against him, but also not wanting her to collapse, [glow=#165042,1,400]"We could also do a double tour, if you'd like. Tanglewood's territory is very complex, even when you've been here a while."[/glow]
Looking up when he heard other footsteps approaching, Wormwood felt his entire body tense up before he saw that it was just Halo. He hadn't seen her around much yet, but at the very least she was a member of the group, and not a threat. Upon hearing what she had asked, he snorted and pointed out as he shifted his wings back against his spine, done preening over being complimented, [glow=#165042,1,400]"It is a rather intriguing name for someone to have... then again, my parents named me Wormcub, so I can't really say others have odd names."[/glow] He chuckled a bit, although it was slightly soft and strained, mainly because of how much stress he had been other lately. He wanted desperately to continue being a calm and friendly presence to newcomers, and to show a positive viewpoint to his overwhelmingly pessimistic clanmates, but just the presence of Sam leaning against his leg reminded him of how some of the people he loved the most were still suffering and injured, and others still weren't even in camp anymore. His thoughts drifted to Red for a moment, and how he wished in agony that one of the people who showed up at the border these days turned out to be the missing gorilla.
