What, haven't you seen a ninja before?

His ears flattered to his skull and he looked at his sister in surprise. Had he done wrong? Well, he suppose it did make sense not to sprout their existence to those weird giant brute things. They laid packs and thought they owned the world, the last thing they wanted was for them to turn their eyes to the Songa. Vel was right, as she always was, even if she was a gross girl.

Vel told the man that they wanted to keep the carcass, and he assumed it was because of him calling dibs on it earlier. He didn’t realise that she wanted a piece of it too. Of course, the giant had other ideas, shouting out their name to them and making the little ninja wince. Yeah, he really needed to learn to keep his mouth shut.

The giant grabbed the carcass and dragged it with such ease, bringing home his mighty shape and size. Ra had a bad feeling about this, and hunkered down on his tree, tail swinging uneasily behind him, ears still to his skull. He was the picture of unease.

“Actually, I ah, I like it up here.” Ramesh called back down. Surely the man didn’t really expect them to climb down from their trees and squibble in the mud like savages. “I ain’t never heard of no Empire, but why don’t you tell us what piece you want from the kill?”
He didn’t look at Vel, he didn’t want to sit quietly in his tree, but he was also pretty sure that the woman would be annoyed at anything that came out of his mouth. His solution was to very precisely not look at her as he spoke. What did stupid older sisters know anyway.
