Floki glanced at Charon as his brother made his exit, and took a step as though he intended to follow. He stopped, however, when Heldi directed a question at him; not wanting to be rude, he turned back towards her, smiling faintly. His answer very nearly mimicked Dash's.

"Much better," he said, stretching the truth only slightly. His leg didn't feel as good as he had hoped it would by now, but he was at least glad that he could get around, albeit slowly. Shifting his gaze between Heldi and Dash, Floki found himself wondering if there was something between them -- something romantic, maybe? If that wasn't it, then it was at least clear that they had become good friends.

He decided to excuse himself and follow Charon. He wanted to keep moving, working on exercising his leg. "I'm gonna go catch up with Charon -- see you guys later," he said. Before departing, he pressed his nose briefly against Dash's shoulder in the same manner that he normally reserved for Charon. Then, with a friendly glance in Heldi's direction, he began to pick his way slowly back down the slope.
