This Is Not A Party

Sota gulped hard as he realized just who he was talking to. Velvette, one of the most beautiful females he'd ever seen, in a land wildly familiar to them both. He felt himself grow a bit light-heated when she gave him a short nod of her own, less concerned with the delay in her proper greeting then in trying to keep his own paws from swaying unsteady and sending him toppling down onto the ground. Sota noted something similar to worry in her gaze, as she took in his words and glanced away from him for a moment. He could relate to her worry, only in a different way; though Ramesh and Velvette were siblings, he and Balsam were not, though he viewed him as a brother of sorts anyway regardless of blood.
He nearly choked on his own chuckle when Velvette seemed entirely unamused with his comment, and the sound gurgled awkwardly into silence. He didn't dare comment upon that point again, even though he too wished for Balsam to return him, so he could return too. Until he ensured that his friend was safe here he couldn't imagine returning, and even then he wasn't so sure he'd want to go once he'd gotten familiarized with these lands - he supposed only time would tell.
At least she agreed with him on something. He nearly sighed a breath of relief at her words, nodding slowly. "I have to say, it seems quite foolish to me, too," he breathed a sentiment of quiet agreement. Sota had always been faintly envious of his much bolder friend, truth be told, even if he'd never admit that out loud to anyone. How could he face life with such.. courageousness? The very thought made him feel faint as he stood here, trying to avoid direct eye contact with her. "And Ramesh is lucky to have a sister like you," Sota returned the compliment quite easily, shaking his head. Was Balsam lucky to have a friend like him? He wasn't sure, but he joined in her laughter instinctively, offering a nervous chuckle of his own. "Have you found anything interesting in these parts yet, Velvette?"
