Loris tried to find out what was so artistic about a shot of desert shrubs blowing in the breeze. His eyes seemed to glaze over for the brief period of time that Cole spent filming a patch of scraggly grass. It really did put into perspective how bland and desolate the desert was, and for a brief second he wondered why he lived there on purpose.<br/><br/>Drawn back to the world of the living by people's sudden movements, Loris's eyes trailed over both Kelly and Cole as they carried the tortoises over to their prospective spot. He piped up softly and carefully, "Isn't there something... ethically wrong with planting the animals like that?" He frowned, and received a rough nudge in their elbow by his brother. Loris jumped, obviously caught off guard, and crossed his arms bitterly.<br/><br/>"It's not wrong if it keeps us from spending hours in a desert, man. Besides, they're not animals," Joaquin started, and after receiving a heated look from Loris, quickly added, "They're reptiles." The heftier twin was about to object yet again, but let the words die on his tongue. There was no use arguing. Besides, it wasn't as if Cole's movie was gonna be critically acclaimed or anything. At best it would gain some weird cult following, if something really interesting or bizarre happened during the course of their filming. Huh.<br/><br/>They both watched the tortoise slowly reach for grass, and then Loris looked at Cole for some indication as to what they could do to help. Joaquin looked away with an indifferent and bored shrug.
