[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]
Wormwood had been broken from his thoughts of worrying about Moth's aching when Leroy approached, and the canine evidently did not understand what had happened here. The lion felt a great deal of confusion at first when Leroy referred to him as 'scandalous', and he opened his muzzle to begin questioning the comments, but the Proxy had already moved along to flirting rather cringily with Moth. Worm couldn't help but snort as soon as he heard the line leave Leroy's lips, and he shook his head a bit at the other male, the scandalous comment already forgotten. He contemplated explaining the situation himself, but he also figured that Moth could handle it, and soon enough the newly winged feline was speaking up herself, smiling a little bit at him. He felt a sense of gratefulness when she said that she was no longer feeling sore, glad that her transition had been less painful than his own, and after just a moment she was addressing Leroy. As soon as she explained the situation, the lion began to chuckle just low enough that it wouldn't combat Vathmos's own usual whooping laughs.
He addressed Leroy with a shake of his head, a little crooked smile on his muzzle at the Proxy's mistake, [glow=black,1,400]"I guess your pick up line jsut wasn't good enough to draw Moth in, Leroy. But is that really your first instinct when you see a new tangler – to flirt with them?"[/glow] He was still blissfully unaware of the way that Leroy thought of him and his history with relationships – which wasn't actually as scandalous as Leroy had been led to believe from his encounters – so he didn't feel any sense of irony teasing the other about the way he had reacted to Moth's new form, and what he had believed to be a new presence in the group. He was also vaguely aware of how Feza had arrived and expressed her feelings over Moth's new shape, but Worm didn't want to address her and make her feel upset or as if he was being hostile again. He knew in the back of his mind that Feza had seemed frightened of him recently, and he didn't want to exacerbate that any by making some stupid comment he couldn't take back. Besides, Moth had already said her piece about Feza's questions, so he didn't really need to speak up.
