Kinich hurriedly turned around the tree, pressing his back flat against the bark and closing his eyes shut. His chest waved from the sudden peak of activity and he could still feel the little kicks of adrenaline in his blood. Why, of all people, why did the traveler had to have such idea?!
“Kinich!” Aether called, seemingly not from as far as Kinich wanted him to be - which meant that the traveler somewhat managed to stay in his tracks. “Come on, heh, I’m not going to tickle you ~” Aether continued, crossing his fingers behind his back while looking left and right, trying to spot any signs of where the other guy could be hiding.
Kinich, from his hiding spot, flinched just at the mention of the word, feeling the warmth spread from his cheeks down to his neck.
He just needed to stay quiet for a little while, Kinich was sure he could escape getting tickled any further if he did so. And truth to be told, he was probably right, however…
“What are you doing, you moron?!” A piercing, annoying voice shouted next to Kinich, making the hunter widen his eyes. Ajaw!! “He is right h-hHMPHM!!”
Covering Ajaw’s mouth and ‘choking’ him with an armlock wasn’t the most efficient way to shut the little dragon’s mouth, but it was the best Kinich could think of at the verge of despair. “H-hush,” Kinich whispered,pressing Ajaw’s body against his as he tried to check if Aether noticed that noise or not.
Ajaw, however, didn’t seem really glad about being interrupted like that. Flying yellow dots waved and flayed in the air, hitting the hunter’s body with the hopes of freeing himself. “MHMMPH!! HMMPH!”
“Q-quiet,” Kinich insisted, bending over Ajaw’s slightly, trying to stop his squirming. He gritted his teeth, figuring if he should try snapping the dragon’s to shut any noise. “H-he will find us and-”
“And what if I do find you?” Aether hummed, suddenly ‘popping’ off from behind the tree and already poking Kinich’s on his side, making the hunter gasp in surprise and fall to the ground on his butt, also freeing Ajaw in the process. “I was wondering what all that noise was, so it was Ajaw, after all.”
“Took you long enough, you slithering worm!” Ajaw cursed, his face red from his burning fury, “now do something good for once and get this moron for what he did to the Almighty Dragonlord, K'uhul Ajaw!! Kill him! Tear him to pieces!”
Both Kinich and Aether rolled their eyes, one less amused than the other at the little tantrum.
“Get lost already,” Kinich groaned while watching Ajaw float from one of Aether’s shoulders to the other, trying to make him listen to one of his suggestions.
Aether, however, already had a better ‘punishment’ in mind for the hunter, grinning as he walked over him. “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to listen to him… I just want to know if you are ticklish ~”
“...I’d rather have you listening to hi-ahAH! A-Aehehether! We wehehere talking, w-wahait!”
