RED

His beak clicked upon finally seeing the one that was approaching. It wasn't The Leader. Saddening. But there was still that radiant feeling of ownership present, and he turned his head to glance back at the rest of the group. "Interesting?" He briefly questioned, seeming befuddled. One of his ears flicked. They were odd and foreign to him, and he wriggled them a few more times to grow used to the motion.

BLUE

"Red, of course we're interesting," Blue smoothly said. His head raised a little more. It was a hard feat, as his scaled head was incredibly heavy. It was hard for his head to lift upright. He tried nonetheless. The long maw was hard to see around, and his head turned to the side so he could see the two that approached in full. His head flopped back against the ground. It was too hard for him to continue, and the frigid cold that bit into his scales didn't provide him with the energy to spare for such an action.

YELLOW

Yellow raised her head a little. "We're looking for pellet values and storage," she answered, her beak tapping together a few times after speaking. She lowered her body, trying to get her face on the same level as Blue's. "Of course, we're not sure if there's actually anything at the peak. We've gotta check either way."

WHITE

White sharply hissed. "We don't have to get up there? It was you who said that we needed to go up there! Why, I ought to strange you!" The serpent hissed. She coiled, fangs displaying. White did not have fangs prior, but such an adaptation was swiftly adopted into her aggressive demeanors. Her head bobbed a little, tongue instinctively flicking from her mouth.

PURPLE

Purple huffed loudly. A hoof reached forward to nudge White. It was a silent act to tell the albino snake to knock it off. He stared White down as red eyes hastily turned their glare towards him. It was hard, keeping White from going off on absolutely every little instance that happened. A tough job, but one Purple wouldn't dare to change for the world. "White, they probably live here. They can show us where the pellet values and storage is. Or a place to stay." He then added after a moment of pause, shaking his massive head.

WINGS

Wings chirped in fright when a second person came over and approached. They claimed to do no harm, but it didn't put the spooked creature to any ease. "Rock! Do something! Ah! They're talking now! I'm too young to die!" She cried. Her wings awkwardly curled over her head. "They say they mean no harm but you saw what happened to Yellow when that bomb went off!" Her voice rose to a shriek for a moment, before her own voice startled her and made her talons grip down harder on Rock's grey pelt.

ROCK

"Wings," Rock said with a sigh. He grumbled and shook his head, then turning his head to the two that had approached and swiftly been wrapped into the thralls of their misfit group. Rock gave his pelt a firm shake. "They're not gonna hurt us. That one just said they won't. Can, can we stay here? We've lost The Leader and don't know where to go." It was common in Pikmin to merely stand still while waiting for The Leader to return. Such was not the case now, where they settled for aimlessly wandering.
