Noctisardor Bypass come along with me [2]

It was a good thing his father was there, because the strange man's way of speaking definitely didn't sit well with Spook -- he shrank back slightly against his father, definitely willing to use him as a shield if things got worse. But Terance seemed to think he could deal with it, right? Or should he get mom too? He looked for some kind of reassurance. 

Oh? That was Ibis? His ears tipped forward a little and he gave a slight wag of his tail to go along with a nod. Spook was the quiet one to begin with, and wasn't going to be acting super enthusiastic when feeling uncertain about something. The other guy qualified for that. He was acting like they had done something wrong when Spook knew they hadn't.
