((Oh, Steak, I love you and Scharf so. /ignores other people and posts so this seems relevant.))
Another reptile? Ryker thought, not able to help the smile that spread across his face at Scharf's antics. He hadn't seen a reptile anima besides himself in a very long time; birds and mammals seemed much more common. A crocodile as well, though Ryker couldn't see Scharf hurting anyone intentionally.
Oh, he caught Raven's silence, as the sun was climbing into the sky and it was his time now. His blood was warm and whatever lethargy was in his veins had been chased away. His senses were getting better and though they'd be at their height during mid-afternoon or so, they were very good now. He guessed Raven would be wary of sharing her anima, perhaps the same reason Hinda was or a different one, though his teasing earlier might've cause a bit of nervousness in whatever the others. He rolled his eyes. Honestly, socializing was not among his strong suits. Scharf was one he'd could stand as nothing seemed to be bothering him, but people who expected real conversation wasn't something he'd get used to immediately.
"Stranger danger indeed, Mr. Buns!" Ryker pretended to admonish the pine cone on Scharf's tail, spinning around as they were. "Letting poor Scharf stumble into a group of strangers! You should know better." Ryker enjoyed this bit of play, he hadn't had it in awhile.
