YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON ME; WHY DON'T YOU?
I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU SEE; WHY WON'T YOU?

Michael was about to respond to Keona's words when Requiem approached, immediately making the thief's ears flatten down against his skull. The bobcat didn't like Requiem to begin with, but considering she was just completely ignoring his offer of help, he felt an extra rush of anger flow through him. He hissed in her direction, sharp claws digging into the sand beneath him as he spoke, "I know you aren't a fan of acknowledging any of The Typhoon members around you, flying skunk, but I did just offer to go along with them. Not to mention Salem as well, and of course Keona herself. Why don't you shut your damn trap before I stuff a rock in it?" A part of the dealer really wanted to use his earth elementals to shoot at her, considering she had no right to be on their territory, and she wasn't being helpful in the slightest. However, he held himself back, mainly for the sake of Keona and Natyli. He wasn't about to start a fight while the pair was just trying to gather things up to bring to others.

Instead, Michael turned his attention back to Keona and Natyli, a heavy sigh leaving him before he muttered, "Only what's okay to spare... yeah, that makes sense. Thankfully, I think we've still got a few things that we're stocked up on, even with that damn raid." He only really knew his information through his occasional visits to the temple as of late, intent on figuring out where Roan had disappeared off to. While he hadn't managed to find the soothsayer just yet, he had started to note the various herb stockpiles in the back. In spite of the Iron Forged's raid, there were still a few things that they had extras of, such as poppy seeds and bits of other painkiller herbs. He then said, shaking his head, "I'll be back in a minute, then." Shooting another withering glare in Requiem's direction, he then turned and headed off towards the temple, figuring maybe he could check for Roan while he was there. If neither of the medics were there, hopefully they wouldn't be too angry about him grabbing some things without asking.
