Man, Caustic's walks in the woods were so fucking boring. Is this what he did every damn day? Wait up, eat, go out in the woods, catch some poor sap, go home, experiment on it, then eat it? That was fucking it?
Why was he with this guy again?
He watches as Caustic stuffs his new experiment in the satchel, grumbling and wheezing all the while.
Ah, yeah, now he remembers. It was a lesson to be hammered in his head over and over. Octane takes in a large inhale, giving his companion the most dramatic of sighs. "Can we go now, I'm bo-" Huh? He takes in another inhale, scents of bodies hitting his nose, a stranger, something finally- "Caustic, come on, it's gotta be something good- more fun then this! Let's go!" Before he lets the chemist argue, he's pushing and pulling him along to the source.

Ah! This looks.... Octane's eyes squint as he tries to make tell of the vibe. It seemed... tense? His gaze casted to the stranger, who, oh yes- Octane's stupid brain is screaming. HEY! DANGER? GO GO GO! "Hey dude! That's a cool knife! Where'd ya get it- I want one- Can I have it-?" He's stepping forward to meet this guy, get close, see how much damage he could do. He's jerked back though, as Caustic's paw slams on his tail.

He kinda wished Octavio would go home. It was a delicate balance- Octavio was emotionally exhausting, or, Caustic was just tired. His head pulls up for a moment, trying to decide which is which, then grunts. He noses his next subject into the bag, placing it over his shoulders. Caustic had yet to take his meds today, and suffering for it. He coughs, mucus spitting out of his mouth and onto the forest floor.

He snorts, catching whiff of the scent too, and Octavio is already pulling him along.
The creature he spots is... one of interest, at least. Caustic finds himself standing to his full height in both its presence and Aurum's. He does not appreciate any indication of weakness from himself.  All the while, Caustic inhales, a noticeable wheeze coming from him as gas leaves him. He gazes over the situation, reading it and... trying to gather waht's going on. He hears the tail end of Aurum's statement. His eyes flicker to the panther, slamming his paw down on Octavio's tail before the daredevil did anything more stupid.
