It wasn't often that the guardsman came across one of his clanmates wrapped up in a big peaceful cocoon, ready – or in Delilah's case, already – to be deep in sleep. The metaphorical cocoon, such as the huge blanket nest Moth had constructed in her house, he had seen before, but the literal one, like the one currently enveloping Del? He had never seen such a thing, and he found himself coming up beside Indie with a look of bewilderment on his face. He had been out looking for herbs for Selby and Moth when he had first caught the faintest of scents alerting him to both Delilah and Indie's presences. Figuring he could take a bit of time away from herb hunting, he turned and padded over to where the two were, and was rather embarrassed to find himself caught in a double take. He made a very similar "uhh" noise to the one that Indie had made, but he too pressed his ear up against the strange substance, hearing the faint sounds of sleep from inside. As the guardsman pulled away, he sniffed at the cocoon and pressed his paw against it, finding that there was definitely someone inside, and it definitely smelled of Delilah.
Turning to Indie, Worm tilted his head to one side before questioning the newer Tangler, a worry frown coming to his handsome muzzle, "Indie, did you see what happened to Delilah...? I've never seen anything like this before..." Most of his questioning was born out of worry for Del, since she was part of his little found family and a friend of his, but part of it was also born of his job as a guardsman. After all, he was supposed to make sure that nothing would end up threatening the group, and he really wasn't sure if this represented a threat to the group or not. Obviously Del was inside the cocoon, and she wasn't a threat to them on her own, but what had caused this, and what would happen when she emerged from it? Would she be some kind of horrible murder beast? Or would she be all aggressive, like she had been after Arrow's death? Every negative option made him fidget nervously, and he pressed a paw back up against the cocoon, calling into it softly, "Delilah? Can you hear me? What is this?"
