decisions made and not bought ._. thagomizers

[ARVID R.]

"Pretty sure those are part of you now, big guy." Arvid's tone was even and faintly amused as he approached, a rabbit hanging down from his jaws. He had been on his way back from a hunt when he heard Anthem's annoyed grumbling. He hadn't really been expecting the other's new additions, instead figuring that the komodo was grumbling about being painted again, or being interrupted from his nap. Ironically, he was grumbling about being interrupted from a nap, but not for the usual reasons. Instead, it seemed as though his earth elementals had blessed him with a new ability to defend himself – not that Anthem particularly needed it. Arvid honestly kind of envied the other's natural ability to produce venom, and bring things down. Still, he already knew that his mind was starting to drift from the topic at hand, as it often had a tendency to do when he got off wondering about science and nature.

Sitting down nearby, the dire wolf carefully placed his caught rabbit down on the ground before he spoke up, "They look like, uh... shit." He quickly shook his head before correcting, a frustrated sigh leaving him, "No, no... they don't look like shit. I forgot the term for them. Thagomizers? I think that's it. I remember seeing them on old diagrams of various dinosaurs." He then reached out a paw, attempting to put it on one of the rock thagomizers – mainly, the one that Anthem hadn't been chewing on. He didn't exactly want to touch the other's spit. When he felt that the thagomizers were made out of solid rock, though, he found himself perking up in surprise. He muttered, a crooked smile coming to his muzzle, "Oh... wow. They're made of rock? I wasn't expecting that. I suppose it's as a result of your earth elementals." Although, he did have wonder if Anthem even knew about his elementals. Probably not, if the lizard's behavior in the past was anything to go by.
