For Algidus' part, he didn't even look after her as she got to her feet and departed; he just waved a hand dismissively, as if he hadn't really been expecting a thank you from her in the first place. He considered leaving as well, but right now he was feeling so hot and miserable that moving really didn't sound all that appealing. He continued to fume, as if just hating his circumstances enough could get them to change.

The sound of the foliage being rustled above him drew his attention immediately. He finally rose to his feet and titled his head up to get a better look, hoping it was some sort of wildlife that he could finally hunt down and torment. AJ was lucky that she called out to him; his hand had tensed as he prepared to lob a jagged ball of hail staight upwards. Instead, when he extended his hand it was simply to grab the vine as she instructed.

"What are you doing," he grumbled, voice sounding weary. Some sort of inane human game? He should've just stalked off when he had the chance.
