If AJ was seeming in better spirits today, Algidus was about the opposite. The heat and humidity levels had held constant and even the night hadn't brought with it as much cool as he'd been hoping for. He'd found it hard to get a good night's rest, and all of the ambient noise from the nocturnal life of the jungle had only made things worse. He was going to have to find a better place to rest for the night... roughing it out here in the jungle was clearly not cutting it.

When AJ spotted him, she'd see that he was already waiting by the river... and more importantly, that there was some sort of massive carcass laying in the grass by his side. Upon closer inspection the creature seemed to resemble a cephalopod; its tough-looking exoskeleton had been battered away, with shards of the animal's protective layer scattered over the bank. In fact, the creature had clearly put up enough of a fight to draw Algidus' ire, because he'd severed its tentacles and tossed them about too... the whole scene was fairly grisly, though from this distance it would be hard to detect if he'd received any injuries in return. Instead of waving back the alien just tossed his head over his shoulder, apparently too hot and tired to bother getting to his feet just yet.
