[ It indeed seems to have been sorted out earlier which I totally had to doublecheck upthread -- probably not even a full rack but rather a couple sturdier sticks shoved into the earth with another laid on them horizontally with the clothes thrown over it -- but it will probably take a while for them to dry, considering they can't be placed as close to the fire as the rabbit carcass. ]

[ Levi spends some more time cleaning his hands to his satisfaction before finally reaching out to rub a spot of the hanging pant leg between his fingers, testing the dampness. It won't be comfortable to wear just yet so he leaves it be, and focuses on cleaning his knife next, glancing at Makoto now and then. Waiting can be somewhat boring, he supposes, but it beats having to fight for one's life. ]

Are you in a rush?

[ Makoto snorts at the question, turning to face Levi with the flattest expression a wolf can muster. He nods a yes to the question, eyes looking for Levi's before he sits back on his hind legs, and lifts his front. His front paws approximate punching, stabbing, the air with sudden movements. Makoto feels like a dog learning to shake hands. He opens his mouth with all the confidence of a human capable of speech.

What comes out is the grating, unnatural sound of a wild animal attempting language. His mouth isn't able to move the way he needs to form actual words, all teeth and tongue in awkward places as he tries anyway. The attempt has the cadence of a sentence of some kind, but he only manages whines and growls that warble before they deteriorate into disgruntled silence. ]


[unexpected hiatus, election, holidays triple whammy, so feel free to ignore this if you'd rather drop it. I totally understand!]

no worries <3

[ Levi stares back at him with matching flatness. ]

I ain't stopping you. You're probably freezing your balls off if you put it on now though.

[ The... attempt at speech has him leaning away slightly, eyeing wolf-Makoto with something like suspicion, or maybe just confusion. ]

...Don't think that's working.

[ He may just have to turn back and brave the cold in the nude for however long it takes him to communicate. Hey, at least they've got a fire. ]
