V-Chaos-Two had been painstakingly trying to bauble a rock. For what use was unknown, but they'd failed so far and were getting a bit bored with the menial task. Perhaps it was to be a gift, one of Chaos-Two's many displays of agathism, or perhaps it was just a way to waste away the hours.
Either way, they were there when Overseer Alpha called, his head shooting up. They stood and stretched out, limping towards Alpha and standing up, still as awkward looking as the day they were born. Lanky with short hind legs and long arms that were reminiscent of Vargas', able to carry them on all fours but were ultimately used for clawing or handling tools.
At least their mind was in no way hindered by their unfortunate flaws. In fact, such a thing seemed to enhance it, as if they were using their intelligence to surpass their weakness.
Chaos-Two positioned itself in front of Alpha and sat heavily, ears perked forward and attentive. Alpha was a big blurry shape with no distinguishing colors, but at least it's head was mostly obvious, unlike Zoisite's. Embarrassingly enough, they found themselves talking to the wrong head more often than not.
Chaos-Two perked up and thought for a moment,
They were a bit different. Not as small as the piddly little thing they had been. Almost 7 feet tall standing, and only getting bigger. Their forearms were lanky but strong, with taut muscle from dragging themselves around, and the occasional spar with their hatchmates (though it was more like rolling around and growling at each other).
They bit their lip and looked around, reaching out to grab a rock before holding it in their claws (they were getting longer now, proper talons, almost) and squinting at it. After a moment it started to glow, and they held it up, ears perked forward.
But when it came to protecting... they only had the idea of throwing themselves in front of something, which was stupid, so they remained silent on that.
The kaiju nodded and wiggled a bit, biting it's cheek,
They looked up as the Overseer spoke again, something about Canis.
Chaos-Two was cautious to say worry or even concerned. The Overseer didn't worry about him.
Sort of like the spell Doctor uses to sense illness?"
Alpha's question about the herb caused Chaos-Two's eyes to crinkle in thought, and they rubbed their hands together.
Chaos-Two didn't really know what Orthoclase-Alpha expected. They didn't have such an ability and expecting it to just work right away was a bit unreasonable, though... perhaps they could try anyway. They had, in fact, cast such a powerful spell right out of the egg that had anyone been in the way, death certainly could have occurred in many of their siblings.
Maybe they could try.
The sand and debris off the ground swirled upwards at the call of their magic, misdirected due to inexperience. Shards of glass formed and sliced forward as they sneezed from the debris, slamming into the ground. They blinked and sagged.
Chaos-Two looked up at the muffled sound of glass bouncing off a hard surface, not like rock, but something else. They brushed glass away and reached forward, scooping up the carapace and cocking their head. Yes... to use later. They set it aside for now.
They sighed and decided to try the spell, to try and see what their eyes could not, though they had little confidence. Such a thing had been attempted and they'd failed at it before, but... maybe with Alpha's lack of encouragement, such a thing could be achieved.
They heard... something. A heartbeat that wasn't their own. They peered forward and slowly leaned in closer, eyes narrowing. They heard a heart... blood pumping through a body they could only see the silhouette of. They could detect something previously undetectable, and turned their head, eyes wide.
It was nearly overwhelming to be able to sense and slowly gain the bearings of the others in the cave. Their location. They could hear the faint noise of wind through the cave, coming in from Pegasus, could hear... everything. They almost became emotional.
