(Not the best post, but I managed to get something out.)
Xirchez's eyes parted from the two Kuhnas he had been talking to for a moment, he looked over at Ratta to see how the Fellox was doing. He knew nothing of the joy that Tarot was now feeling since he wasn't part of the trio's little link, but he could tell that things weren't going horrible. It was nice to know that the two of them might get accepted somewhere without being used as tools. Well.. They were going to be helping Tarot and the others, but it was different than helping Malenov and Muska. 'Helping' those two was more of a task forced upon the two of them.
"We've been trying to find a placce to sstay." Ratta had his hideaway that he could always retreat to, but not even Xirchez knew where that place was. He believed the Fellox might have mentioned the place once or twice. Probably didn't ask if he'd like to come back there with him, but he had commented about it. Even if Ratta felt close enough to him to share such a place with him, the Chimerantula wouldn't have imposed on him. "Iss not easssy to find a placce exccepting me." It was easy to say that no one in town was particularly fond of either of them. Many people knew Ratta from his time with the other two, and even those that didn't know Xirchez didn't like him just for the sake of what he was.
Frowning slightly, Cyphor felt bad for the two of them. No one could choose what species they were born as, and it wasn't either of their fault that Malenov and Muska did the things they did. Maybe they would find a place traveling with them at least. Who knew. Maybe while the five of them were traveling together Xirchez and Ratta would find homes that would accept them even. The group probably wouldn't last forever after all.
