Look who's back!

Iskra nudged the little monkey towards him. The baby macaque was nervous and looked hesitantly between the two, so Malleus laid down in the hopes of appearing less frightening. He used his paws to gesture towards himself, hoping to coax the baby closer. It began to creep towards him slowly. Halfway to him it decided it didn't like being out in the open so it rushed closer and wound its tiny paws into the thick fur on his chest. He grinned up at Iskra, his joy seeming to take years off his face. He was like a little boy with a new toy. "I could use a helper, that's for sure. Thank you, again, Iskra. I'll take good care of him." Malleus sobered as Iskra went on to state what she wanted in return. As it became clear that what she was asking for was of an alarming magnitude, he stood up. "That," he said slowly, "is a lot for some plants and a monkey." It would be unwise for him to readily agree to those requests, so he countered, "I will agree to one of those, but not both. It's up to you which one. Another haul such as this one, or one of a similar value, could possibly earn another promise of immunity, but I can't promise immunity for the Aeris and Talis both in exchange for this." |
