Equinox liked the feeling of fur, all soft against her smooth and slimy skin, despite the fact that she may as well have just been wrecking it with slime. She was completely unaware of this, however, as she looked at the creature happily, with her eye softly glowing through the gem that tinted her fractured vision crimson.

After some time though, the little one became distracted by yet another flower that she'd noticed just beyond them. Her little claws twitching and ripples of a rough texture visibly spreading over her body, the creature tugged herself free of Pulse even though slime was almost binding them together. She then wriggled her way over to the flower, gurgling at Pulse to follow, because she wanted to see the pretty thing up close. It was a purple flower, and the little one opened her maw, upper and lower beak connected by strings of pitch black slime.

Then she leaned in close for a good look at it, as though she were about to eat it again, her claws twitching with the longing to pluck the flower and keep it. She turned towards Pulse and chirped again, as if to say "look at this! friend, look at this!" excitement caused her entire body to ripple like jelly, creating spikes and pores that didn't exist. Then she had it in her gaping beak again as she stared unblinkingly.

notes: Sorry it took so long!

Pulse personally isn't quite so sure about the slime that's sticking to her, but she likes the feeling of being hugged in spite of this so it's all good. Still one thing for sure it's a good thing that Pulse's one and only Spell technically doesn't use what one would consider actual 'electricity', or well the kind ones would think of when they hear the term 'electricity'. Even though Pulse is opening up to this one here, she's still a Gembound who is jumpy and easily startled, and there has been a few instances here and there where she has set Spells off when she was startled by something like a reflex reaction by accident. So right now it in particular it is a good thing that Pulse doesn't expel actual electricity as of right now, as while it is unknown whether or not the flammable slime will react similarly to electricity it is still a huge risk. A huge risk since Pulse is unaware about this slime that's on the slug and now clinging to her, has no idea of it being flammable so things might not have ended well if she did know a different kind of Spell from her element.

Still she isn't really startled right now in fact she's rather relaxed in this right now scenario, but Pulse is unpredictable, just like lightning bolts for one can never know where they shall strike and when. This here glider for now is in a relaxed state and is giving this other little one a small smile at them a bit, gazing at that pretty Gem of theirs. Quite nice of them, Pulse herself probably looks alien to them and yet they're treating her so nicely... It's really wonderful, honestly.

...

Wait... Something feels a tads bit off... Like something is a bit- Uhhh hmm- twitching sort of? Something like that, feeling pretty puzzled of this odd sensation she's feeling, Pulse pulls back a bit in an attempt to get out of this hold she's in right now to see what this feeling is. ... !! Wh-Wha?! Why are they doing that? Was it something she did?! In a panic of that in her mind being a possibility Pulse tries to get out of the hold they are in herself, when she managed to release herself she was about to sputter out any apologies to the other for whatever it is they might've done. To her surprise the other slithered away from her with some form of signal to follow, not sounding like something that indicates that they are upset with Pulse. A little shaken from how she managed to get herself worked up she slowly follows to see what it is they want.

Following, following, following. Pulse's movements towards where the other is standing by were fairly slow, but she did eventually make it there standing beside the other to see what it is they're inspecting. Looking herself she sees it, another flower? Well... It is pretty looking, turning her head to the other to see they are doing the same thing with they did with the other flowers. She would think the other little one was intending on snacking on them, but she has learned already that they seem to use their jaw for something else entirely. She stares on quietly in strong confusion when all the ripples and spikes happen as she doesn't know what to make of them at all but the sounds that she knows they are the proprieter of and not someone else nearby they make do sound cheerful still she doesn't feel worried, just confused.

@Equinox

the little slug squeaked happily, turning back towards Pulse and beckoning with a big sweep of her head. She wanted the sugar glider to come see the pretty flower! When Equinox opened her maw again, the other was moving towards her, although slowly. So, she whipped her head back towards the flower and seemed to melt. She grasped the stem in her dripping, slimy beak and tugged, and tugged.

It was stuck fast!

Ripples spread over her body as she kept on pulling, and pulling... until with a small pop, the flower came free! The little one's neck snapped back as though made of elastic, with all the force of her pulling. Despite the grotesque sight though, the creature seemed completely unaffected, springing back to normal and sliding, in a determined sprint, towards where she was sure Pulse was waiting. Though with the flower in her maw, she couldn't quite see where she was going. If she ran into Pulse, it was clear the slug would squish right into her...

Who knows what would happen to the pretty flower...
