hint of a circle - prank

[wormwood.]

When it came to Wormwood and water, they sort of went together like Wormwood and Feza did – badly. Whether it be in his fiery colored lion form, meant for the skies above and the humid environments of the Sahara, or his undead hellhound form, fit for the fiery depths of the land deep down below and the unpleasantly wet and hot air of the swamp, neither of his ways of life were fit for water. That wasn't to say that he entirely hated it, or anything of that sort, it was just that it was difficult for him to really enjoy himself in it besides when he was doing something such as bathing. Worm seemed as though he was the embodiment of the sky above and the burning hot flames that existed in the world, so the cold dark depths that lurked within the waves? Those were the exact opposite of his home environment. That said, it was surprisingly fitting that Feza had acquired the ability to swim and breathe easily among the water now, since it added onto the number of reasons why she and Worm were like polar opposites. Hot and cold, fire and water, responsible and excitable... Wormwood wanted to repair their relationship, but it seemed as though with every day they were actually growing farther and farther apart from ever being true friends. Unfortunately, this particular little event probably wouldn't help out at all with this cause, since it just so happened that Feza had just managed to prank two of the people that Worm had begun to like, and both of them were particularly in a state of mind for scaring.

The lion had been moving slowly through camp when Feza decided to pull off her little diabolical scheme, moving in a slow trot that made it so that he wouldn't be one of the victims of her little prank. However, it did mean that he had a front row seat when it came to seeing the reactions of both Kiira and Echo. Kiira had always been an anxious and struggling mess lately, thanks to her still relatively recent return from the Pitt, along with the fact that she felt like nobody here truly cared for her, and Echo was still making a rather grand effort in order to fit in with the group, since she had only recently joined. Both of them were trying so hard just to live and get through their lives, and now along came Feza, scaring them out of their wits and immediately making Wormwood's blood pressure rise. The male felt his jaw clench as he saw Kiira teleport away, a terrified look on her face, along with the fact that Echo seemed to be just... frozen a few steps away, her eyes wide and her face considerably unsettles, despite the fact that she couldn't scream or say anything to express it. Part of him wanted to launch into some large rant that would no doubt make Feza feel like shit about what she had done by the end of it, but this time he decided it would be more fun to take a more... alternative route. Seeing that Feza was distracted with her little prank, along with the fearful expressions of both Kiira and Echo, the lion slowly moved up behind the water dragon, stepping forward and moving to press one of his massive paws on her tail, pinning the tiny water dragon between his massive claws as he leaned down, rumbling lowly in the lost intimidating and hungry sounding voice that he could manage, knowing full well how much he could scare his fellow chaser, "Boo."
