((I think they're calling Everest fat-- Kinda a tsundere thing idk--))
The forest nicheling hesitantly picked Everest up by the scruff. They were oddly tall, which sort of helped with this task. They just sort of waited until the others would start walking so that they wouldn't have to be carrying an idiot.
Everest turned towards Finch. He didn't seem fully awake. He scratched at his eye a bit before falling over.
Forest nicheling just sorta stared at Everest for a moment before looking back at Finch. "Uhh-- I'll carry him.... You guys don't exactly look like your in the right conditions to carry somebody..." They said after a bit.
Everest didn't want to stop walking for some reason. He tried to walk further into the forest, but the forest nicheling was suddenly blocking him. "No, go with your friend." They mumbled to Everest.
The forest nicheling blocked them. "What are you doing this deep in the woods?" They questioned angrily.
If you looked, it would seem as though Everest had somebody's blood splattered on him as he was walking away.
"Seems so." They said, looking back at Finch.
Everest just sorta off a bit before the forest niche looked over. "Excuse me, where do you think you are going?" They asked, being completely ignored as Everest ran off.
((Everest already got off--))
"No. Water wouldn't betray it's inhabitants." They said calmly. "A niche trapped me in twine... Or something of the sort." They explained.
Everest seemed to be out of it, just sort of looking at a pine tree while scratching at his eye. He doesn't seem to realize that he is making the eye worse.
The forest niche occasionally reached out to move Everest's hand away from his eye, but it didn't really help.
