IS THIS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GET THE RAREST HOLO IN A PACK

[ Hearing Siffrin echo his words back just further cements it: they made it. Bump in the head notwithstanding, it's clear from his growing smile that he's just relieved to be on a solid surface again, releasing the built up tension all at once. Then, suddenly, he erupts in laughter, the rush of adrenaline now slowly draining out of him. Anyone else who might hear him in the Canopy would be right to think he's a bit out of it in that moment.

It doesn't last long though, exhaustion taking over him just as Siffrin settles in close. He shifts his position again, laying on his stomach now, front paws tucked in under for warmth. ]

Just in time too! Look at how bad the rain's getting. [ He sighs, looking ahead at the assortment of trees, before glancing at Siffrin with a tilt of his head. It's easy to be comfortable with a stranger after a near-death experience, that's for certain. ] ... I guess we just have to get used to this, don't we?

[Hang on, which "this" does Laios mean? The being Pokemon, the living in the Canopy, the being exposed to the elements even when they're at "home"... (Strong word. At home base, maybe.) At least the last one is nothing new. ]

[Either way, though, Siffrin is pretty sure,] Yeah. I don't think we really have a choice...?

[They stretch out their front paws in front of them and rest their head down on top. Their glow has basically died down, but every once in a while the storm and the charged atmosphere makes sparks jitter over their fur.]

[Abruptly Siffrin realizes something and lifts their head, ears folding back.] We're gonna have to fix the vines we broke tomorrow, aren't we.

[Or whenever the storm is over. Either way: oh boy.]

[ He's not going to elaborate. Siffrin clearly got it! ] At least we're not the only ones. I'm sure we'll all find our footing eventually. [ He mimics the Shinx while speaking, laying his head down on his paws just the same. ] But I still wish I had wings to make it a little easier.

[ Comfortable now, he can't help but close his eyes, only to open one lazily when Siffrin mentions the vines. Oh boy indeed, but he seems rather unbothered. It may be the exhaustion. ] Ah, yeah... that whole path is a mess now. It shouldn't be so bad though, once the rain stops. [ When you're that close to death, chores don't seem as terrible anymore. ] At least now we know we can make it back when we fall again. [ If! He meant if! ]
