Had he not been driven by the quiet hum of need, a begrudging insistence to depart from the enclosed walls of overly crowded abode, from putrid depths may he have turned with relief. Yet of such minor hope had he been striped, along the bowed trunks of each tree extending forth into the weak speckling of tainted light his vision sliding. Upon some he saw the markings, understood the shape as a warning, though of what he may only guess upon.
Later ponderance may such be left for, annoyance a subtle growth wound about his ribs, rooted within the depths of a chest that ached with a simmering heat, prior instances of lacking attention leaving a notable mark. Rather, it was what was atop the scarred bark reopened over time, the shimmer of light touched carapice dancing with a multitude of hues halting his progression. Forth did reach a paw of rather miniscule size, the opaque crescents of his claws hovering above the insect, though it seemed it would not be.
Another, heavy the manner steps were pressed into the slurry of thickened muck, his thoughts turning to only one. Sharp the twisting curl of grimace pulling dark mouth ever down, his annoyance flaring when noted was the hasty retreat of sought after beetle.

Bearing no need to speak aloud silent was he for the moment, looking on with waning curiosity, the mustelid and their rather odd choice of headdress a trivial matter he wished concluded in a timely manner.
