Lava is not a paranoid person. A lot of people would say he's more reckless then anything, not really thinking whenever he does something. But fuck, that doesn't mean he's stupid. He knew the danger and did it anyways. Is it idiotic? Yes, but not stupid.
So when he saw something move out of the corner of his eyes, he knew immediately something was wrong. Because he recognized that silhouette of a person, if he could even call it that, and yet he doesn't know where the heck he saw it before.
"What was that?" He asked, albeit it sounded... much harsher then he intended.
The Ying-Yang guy side eyed him for a moment before raising an eyebrow. His fingers curled in as through he was holding something, even though his hand is empty.
Equality: What was what?
"Behind there." Lava pointed in the direction of one of the stands near the fountain, because christ, it gave too similar of a dread to just... go unnoticed like that.
⠀ Equality— that's his name, right? Equality looked over at where he pointed at and furrowed his eyebrows, befo— holy crap is that a scythe? It— it IS!!
He watched on almost dumbly as the strange being checked the stand and fountain, looking ready to attack at anything thay slightly moves. It's... kinda comforting. That if there is danger, then he could handle it. Is... all of the aliens like this? Or just these colour vines covered ones?
Equality: There's no one there.
And yet the Ying Yang didn't put away his weapon. And he really, really doesn't believe that.
Equality: But if there is, we'll protect you. Got it?
He pushed down the bubbling tightness within his chest and nodded. Maybe he could hold that to him. Maybe. "Okay."
⠀ Equality span his scythe for a moment, the strange wisps of teal and black rotating around the blade before the weapon disappears completely. Where did. Actually, does he want to know?
Not really, no.
Equality: I'm going to check on Balance, call me if you see anyone that shouldn't be here.
He wanders away, and Lava is left alone. Well, at least someone actually checked, unlike last time. That's something.
Slowly, he breathes in deeply and sighed, trying to calm his faster-then-normal heartbeat. Which.. felt odd, actually. Like it's normally not really... there? What is he even thinking? Man this really got him messed up, huh.
Shaking his head, he looked back at the waterfall that dropped him here in the first place. The moonlight reflecting on the steady current of the water flowing down. It's pretty.
Again, from the corner of his eye, something shifts, and he turns. Watching as something retreats back into the shadows. Something that looked too real for comfort.
