Kieaira's face scrunched up, her forehead wrinkled and a frown played upon her thin lips as she looked up at Lorielle after being moved around without a chance to protest ... not that she would in this case. From her facial expression she might have looked like she was in pain, but the way her pale skin had turned a bright red, it would be clear she was more embarrassed than hurt.
"I'm okay." She forced a small smile. She did in fact feel a bit sore, perhaps a bruise or two would form, but not enough to be really hurt, or to have anyone fuss over her. "Th-Thanks." She nodded, and then shifted to see if she could see what the commotion was about.
The toad let forth a sickening croak that rumbled the ground as its' beady eyes looked upon the caravan with curiosity. The chocobos had stopped struggling against their reigns, but were visibly upset by the large creatures sudden appearance.
Kieaira rose to her feet, shaking slightly but she was quick to steady herself. Her curiosity had gotten the better of her, and she wanted to see the commotion for herself. "We should see if we can help." She nodded towards Lorielle. Though you'll probably be of more help than I.
Carefully she hoped down off the back of the cart and moved to the side to watch from a safe distance, not wanting to be in the way of anything. Another croak, and this time the toad's long tongue flopped out from its' mouth the tip landing mere inches from the chocobos, which sent them into another frenzy. The toad pulled its' tongue back into its' mouth with a sickening slurp, its' saliva leaving a trail in the dirt, sticky, and most likely laced with the toxin where it had gotten its' name from.
"Look out!" Kieaira cried out towards Tobias and the driver, as the chocobos broke their reigns, each running off in a different direction, one of them knocking the driver onto the ground, nearly kicking him in the head as it leaped over him. Kieaira turned her attention back towards the toad, its eyes now landing on Tobias, and it looked as if it was getting ready to jump.
