[He can relate to the jumpiness, but still. Venom looks away from the spot and keeps walking.]

We should be close to the edge of the village. I remember this unusual tree.

[He points to one that has some odd purple markings on the trunk.]

[shashka]

Good.

[ not that the experience wasn't thrilling, but... ]

Too bad we weren't able to get that... whatever it was.

[poolhall_killer]

I know.

[They didn't even get a good look at it before it gassed them.]

At least we have something to share with them. And I will tell them to bring facial protection.

[shashka]

If they believe it. They might just dismiss it as another ill omen about cooperation with Olympia.

[ and he supposes that suits him just fine. ]

[poolhall_killer]

[Venom can't help lightly huffing at that, mostly because Ocelot's probably right.]

I suppose we'll have to let them decide whether or not to believe us.

[shashka]

I suppose.

[ a pause ]

I'm going to need a drink after this.

[ translation: venom is welcome to come. considering he's seen him at his most vulnerable, he needs to get to know the other man a little bit better. even the playing field. ]

[poolhall_killer]

I believe I'm going to require one, as well.

[He won't mind getting to know Ocelot more, too. So he'll take the older man up on the implied offer.]

[shashka]

[ a light laugh. ]

Glad to hear it.

[ Ocelot is an open book, as they say. if that book was written in a nearly incomprehensible cipher, unlockable only to a very specific person. ]
