Spruce's POV...

As Falspar leads us farther and farther away from the conflict, I try to infiltrate their minds, but digging through Opala's and Augustine's mind earlier on tired me out, rendering me kinda useless. With my powers temporarily gone and all...

Anyway, Falspar started to relax more, and seemed a bit childish in his own way. And when we exited the dark alley way we were pulled into, it was revealed that Falspar was also a dark, murky green, but with a bright red Mohawk atop of his head. He donned basic pauldrons and black sabatons on his oversized feet. He also wore a mask of pewter colored metal that was shaped like...

I don't really know how to explain this, ok?

Let's say... a weird arrowhead. With a regular arrow head for the eye openings with two large, glowing yellow eyes that observed our every move.

Yeah, I think that's somewhat possible to comprehend.

He also wore a sky blue colored cape, that swooshed around satisfyingly whenever he turned. Nonsurat was a teal-ish color with white gloves on both of his paws. He bore a helmet that made me extremely uncomfortable. It was silver in color, and it covered most of his body. There's nothing really wrong with it, it's just that... it wasn't really...

symmetrical.

His helmet had two square shaped openings on the top and bottom of the thing with two little... thingies that were yellow and resembled...

(Meanwhile in The Author's head~)

(Ok. What do those things look like? It can't be THAT HARD. You're smart. You can do this, all you have to do is make the words come out and on to the screen...)

It looks like...

...Weird spaghetti noodles? What the heck, Author?!

(You tried. )

(THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD! THIS IS DRIVING HIM MAD!
WHY CAN'T THIS BE EASIER TO EXPLAIN?!
IT JUST HAS TO BE THE MOST COMPLICATED THING TO DESCRIBE, DOESN'T IT, HUH?!)

...

Anyway, Falspar was trying his best to keep everyone entertained for a little while, by socializing uncontrollably. "Soooooo," he began. "You two seem really depressed, like we just killed your family and burnt your home to the ground when you were two years old."

Augustine gives him the nastiest glare I have ever seen on a Star Warrior.

"BUT SINCE WE MOST DEFINITELY DID NOT, let me tell you a joke." There was am unnecessary dip in Falspar's voice that made everyone uncomfortable. The other one, Nonsurat, groaned loudly.

Uh oh.

"Ok, here's a good one!
What do you call a... giraffe in the middle of the road?" Falspar had trouble saying that without giggling. From his expression, Augustine was definitely not going to answer, and neither was Nonsurat. So, by the process of elimination, I decided to volunteer.

"Um... I... I don't know. What do you call a giraffe in the middle of the road, Falspar?" Nonsurat looked at me with eyes that said you're going to regret that.
