A strange rumble follows after his teeth sink in, and the root snaps right in his mouth. With that, the little bit of the mushroom sticking out of the ground seems to bury itself deeper, no longer in view. Immediately, Laios spits the root out, much more sensitive to the bitterness than he remembers being. ]
... Hn. I guess that wasn’t it. Let’s hope there’s not more of those around? [ He would like to see them, eventually, but, priorities. ] I’ll try to avoid that scent for now, at least!
no subject
[She can't even cast Clemency if he needs it this is bullshit]
no subject
[ Suddenly, he has to resist the urge to bite on it, instead stomping it back down on the ground a couple of time. ] It’s almost like, ah, poison ivy? How interesting...
no subject
I hope it isn't poison anything...but it could be some other sort of irritant. What were the other kinds...it doesn't sound like paralysis, but mayhap a burn? A flameless burn.
no subject
Don't worry, Firoza. I promise I'm fine! [ His tail wags too, for good measure. ] A burn from what has to be a grass-type... that would be something, though! [ He sounds way more excited than he should be about that, though he does extend his paw toward her. ]
What do you think? Does it look bad?
no subject
She takes a look at Laios's paw...the marks where he was touched do look irritated, but there's no blood or boils.] Hm...I think...so long as you take care on the way back, and get examined at the clinic, you ought to be fine. But if anything changes then we should return immediately.
[What she wouldn't give for someone with Esuna right now.]
no subject
You know... I haven't really been able to enjoy spicy foods as much. Not that I was able to tolerate a lot before, but I could be more sensitive now. [ His nose twitches as the taste of a Figby Berry comes to mind. ]
O-oh, but — I'll be more careful! [ His ears inmediately flatten at the idea of returning. Not that he doesn't appreciate her concern, but leaving an adventure so soon does make him some sort of way. ] I've definitely had worse reactions to plants. Full on swelling, actually. I'm sure you've dealt with something similar!
[ He puts his paw back down tenderly, ready to get moving again. ] I do still smell something this way, though. Hopefully it's not too far now.
no subject
[It would be like being hit with a Morbol's stench, probably...status ailments abounding. Eugh.
But he seems fine to continue...Firoza nods.] Alright. Let's proceed.
no subject
The ivy tentacles that did that... they can actually cause paralysis, but they only managed to get parts of my face. I wonder if I'd be immune to them now, actually... [ Anyway, onward to the actual mushrooms!
Though, he can't help but wonder: ] Did you have any similar plants back home, Firoza? You seem pretty familiar yourself.
no subject
[But she pauses and thinks on the idea of tentacles, specifically.] What you described made me think of Morbols, instinctively - but there are smaller creatures with tentacles that are essentially plants and can expel toxins and irritants. They have several names, but where I was most recently, they were called "flying popotoes".
