Kinkajou: A question for the Jade Winglet: what do think of Shrapnel?

Moonwatcher: I dunno, I just met the guy, but he seems fine.

Qibli: He definitely is cool. Haha.

Kinkajou: Plus, he's sexy.

Turtle: Kinkajou, please, that's inappropriate.

Kinkajou: Fine, if makes you feel any better, you're sexy too.

Turtle: *flushes* Nooooo!

Moonwatcher: So, what do think of Shrapnel, Turtle?

Kinkajou: You must love him, you two can be in like a scales hard as diamonds club. You're Diamond Scale Buddies!

Turtle: I don't know...I am curious about his scales, though, I like to know how tough they can be.

Kinkajou: *evil grin*

Kinkajou: Let's see for ourselves...

Later:

Shrapnel: ...

Shrapnel: Why are you guys creeping up on me?

Jade Winglet: ...

Kinkajou: Shit! We been spotted!

Turtle: We wanted to test out your scales for ourselves.

Shrapnel: Oh, if you say so...

Kinkajou: Me first!

*Kinkajou spat venom at Shrapnel's torso. It fizzled a bit, but didn't sink through*

Kinkajou: Yes!

*Moon shyly walked forward, and clawed Shrapnel's arm. It didn't leave a scratch*

Moonwatcher: Wow.

Qibli: OK, my turn.

*Qibli tried to stab through the scales with his barbed tail, but --*

Qibli: *internal screaming*

Shrapnel: You OK?

Qibli: I might've struck too hard...ouch.

Kinkajou: Now it's your turn, Turtle! Use your magic

Turtle: I...I dunno.

Shrapnel: Don't worry, you're not going to hurt me. I have a bracelet that protects me from animus magic.

Turtle: OK, I'll just do something simple. Like throw a rock.

*He turned to a bunch of rocks nearby*

Shrapnel: Good. Bring it on.

Turtle: Got it!

*With his animus magic, he reached for the rocks...and levitated the smallest pebble*

Turtle: Take that!

*The pebble hit Shrapnel's snout and bounced off*

Shrapnel: ...

Shrapnel: Uh--

Turtle: Oh my moons! Did I hurt you!?

Shrapnel: No--

Turtle: Goddammit! What have I become!?

Kinkajou: Oh, Turtle...
