It wasn't exactly clear what it was supposed to mean, as his face didn't change from his usual dreamy expression, but he returned to humming immediately after and put the stones back in his bag before following Maud and ERN into the ruins. His nose (or what passed for one) was basically useless except when smells were particularly strong, so it wasn't until they had reached the fork that he even knew there was something to smell; even then, it was rather weak to his nose, and reminded him vaguely of compost from home. While he mostly sat out of the discussion on which way to go, he had been subtly doing the Hokey-Pokey while the others talked, and made the same strange leaf rustling noise when they agreed to go right before going back to humming.<br/><br/>He continued his humming to the clanking of his bag all through the hall and until Taria had opened the door. He... Probably could have just melted the lock with some acid without anyone caring, but it was always interesting to see Taria work. Her tools were interesting in and of themselves, but watching her use them was something else entirely. He suppressed a laugh as, despite all of Taria's attempts to be quiet, the door announced their arrival of its own accord with a highly noticeable chime; even if he found it funny, he was fairly sure she'd be annoyed that it was a waste of time to be stealthy about it.<br/><br/>As the door slid open and Phalaenopsys got a look into the room, he made a high-pitched squeaking noise, similar to the noise made when you play a grass flute (http://youtu.be/WFSHFqMXwJY?t=1m3s). A bug! Of course, he had no idea what sort of bug it was, but still, a bug! Maud and ERN were blocking his way, so he couldn't go investigate it closer without pushing them aside, and he had the distinct feeling that neither of them would appreciate it if he did. He contented himself with craning his head around them to see it better, and getting a better look made something in his gut tell him he most certainly did not want it as a pet, however cute he may think it is.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Initiative: 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=72869)</div></div>
