"I can't even recognize any!" he laughed. "I can hear things like birds and smell various flowers and such but I can't tell them apart in the least. The only ones I might know most likely don't grow here. It's probably too hot for them." His tail drooped and he took a moment to push the string of beads from his eyes. "Nearly too hot for me."

"That's because you're wearing too many heavy clothes." She told him, she tilted her head, wondering if he hadn't realized that. "When you come to a jungle you have to wear less, or at least stuff of a lighter material."

He blinked, looking down at himself. "Pants, a shirt, and vest are heavy?" Spode sighed, knowing she was right. The best he could do was roll his pants up to be shorts. He took off the blue vest and pushed the sleeves on his purple tee up on his shoulders to make it into a tanktop. While he felt stupid he did feel a bit less overheated.

"Well... Maybe you just need your clothing made of something lighter." She pinched a bit of the side of her skirt, when it wasn't pressed to her skin a bit of light shone through the green. "Even with our clothing as light as it is, we Echidnas wore very little. Just enough to be appropriate.

"Makes sense." He nodded. "Well no time to change that now I guess. I'll just have to deal with my fur and my clothes as they are. Tends to get cold up in the air where updrafts can get a hold on you so I'm not really much suited to being on the ground anyway."

"Then why did you land?" She asked then, tilting her head in wonder. "Why would you land here in the middle of the jungle?"

"Well my wings do get tired... I was going to sleep and try to find something to eat but the landing was really rough. A stray breeze hit me and before I could activate my powers to try to redirect it, I crashed. I hadn't meant for that to happen."

She nodded and then looked forward... Then winced and looked back at him. "Well... I didn't lie to you when I said 'middle of the jungle'... You're not going to be out of here within this day or night for certain."

"Well I guess I can survive. Trust my luck to end up stuck!" Spode said with another smile. He took the feather from behind his ear and looked at it. He then clenched it in his fist. The smile fell. He bit his lip and couldn't help but frown. The beads, the feather, they both meant so much.

Radom looked back at him again, stopping. "Is something the matter Spode?" She asked, a bit of concern in her voice... For the first time he seemed truly worried, and that troubled her.

He blinked a few times blankly then the smile returned. "Oh... sorry for worrying you. I'm fine, honestly. I was just thinking about people is all. Ulrich and Archer to be specific. I doubt either will be missing me but I can't help but hope I don't lose what they gave me. The beads and the feather behind my ear are from them."
(I know they're technically from me as his RPer but I decided this makes more sense)

"What are you worried of?" She asked, crossing her arms she considered him for a moment. "That you will not see them again, or that you will lose those items?"

Spode paused. He was almost unsure which one the answer actually was. "...Maybe both. The items are my most important possessions because of who they represent. Problem is that Archer's always off alone and Ulrich and I aren't on speaking terms at the moment. Our family's a bit odd to say the least."

She nodded. "Well... There really isn't anything scary out in this jungle... And I could hold onto them if you're really that afraid of loosing them? I'm less likely to get them snagged on a branch or something."

"Thanks! I'd appreciate tha', Radom!" He sped up a little so he could be beside her rather than behind her and extended his hand that held the feather more loosely now. "Here's the feather from Archer... I'll have to take a few moments to untie the beads from Ulrich. It's sort of attached to my hair by a knot but the knot can come undone. My hair's never been long enough to bead like this."
