It wasn't hard to see that the Yonyuu didn't like him. But Matt just couldn't figure out why. Maybe he had a thing against Battlehearts? The idea was a probable one-- after all, it wasn't exactly like his species had the best reputation on Evelon. But, still... His dislike of the reptilian seemed deeper, more potent than just a matter of blood relations. It felt like he actually hated him, and only him, not any other.
Still, the male decided to ignore the canine's frosty attitude and turn his attention back to the Kuhna, who was going on about blue ponies or Triumvirate knows what. How old was she, anyway? She appeared to be nearly full grown, yet, she kept acting like a kit... Ah, well. She was an interesting little girl.
"And Xeko is a really good tracker! I bet we're gonna find a Mekkayena really soon!" Matt turned, catching the end of her speech. He grinned.
"Well," he replied, an idea forming in his mind. "I'm not too bad of a tracker myself. If you let me tag along, you all could maybe even hitch a ride on my back."
Rangi looked like she was about to explode with excitement. "Really?" she squealed, practically bouncing up and down. "That would be so coo! Andandand afterwards you and Xeko could come back with me to the Lodge! And oh she'll love a Battleheart and you're really nice and I like muffins and..." The Kuhna spoke for at least two minutes before taking a breath. Matt had to restrain laughter.
"Alright, if it's cool with you guys..." The dragon-like creature lowered his head and wings, making room for the pair to clamber on.
