"Ha, you're gonna whip me? Maybe when the moon turns green," Okassis chuckled, his mirth finally lightening up enough for him to push back to his feet. A few bug corpses were on the ground, following Sovann's frantic footdance - Okassis gathered these quickly into his bag. "Well, I imagine we've spooked all the bugs out of this area. Time to relocate, perhaps?"

Mutter, mutter. "-So dead!-" Mutter, mutter. "Oh, I'm going to whip you something fierce! By the First Egg, Okassis, what were you thinking?" Sovann was totally indignant. Bugs in bags were one thing. Bugs in his clothing were another thing entirely! "Yeah, yeah. We should relocate." Sovann was feeling just a touch sulking. Just a touch. Not a lot. Something little like that wasn't enough to completely ruin his mood, but he was somewhat expressive about things in general. "I so can't believe you did that!"

"And I can't believe you screamed like that!" Okassis burst out laughing again, elbowing his friend as he passed him to start moving to a new spot. "Shards, Sovann, it was just a bug! My own sister wouldn't have shrieked so loud!" Grinning at his friend's expense, he said in a more serious voice, "You know, when the day comes that you Impress a green, I'm gonna be standing by and telling everybody that I knew it was coming. Just you see."

"I am not Impressing a green! Maybe a brown, or a blue, or even a Bronze, but not a green for sure!" Then, as though to make certain that any passersby didn't misunderstand what he was saying, he spoke again. "Not that there's anything wrong with Impressing a green, and greens, but I'm not girly, I'm not! Not that green riders are girly, I'm just! I'm not, okay?" On the day that Sovann did Impress, if he Impressed, he didn't really care what color it was, but the implications that Okassis was making were absolutely unfair! Sovann was very manly! Very, very manly. Not at all effeminate. He was even manly when he shrieked. "Brat!"

"Hey, hey," Okassis said soothingly, "it's all right. I mean, maybe you won't Impress a green, okay?" He gave his friend a reassuring pat on the arm. "I mean, a guy like you? You've got a shot at a Gold." Without missing a beat, he sang out, "I BELIEVE IN YOUUUU!"

"AAAAARRRRRRRRGH! I'm going to KILL YOU!" Sovann shouted, tying up the blasted sack, and pouncing Okassis to the ground. "You are so dead so dead so dead! Men can't Impress golds, you deadglow!" That was it. The mud was so going down Okassis' throat for this, or at least in his shirt. Grabbing a fistful of mud, he pelted Kas with it, still hurling insults right and left. "You are the most wherry brained trader I've ever met!" Well, he wasn't really going to kill Kas. He adored Kas way too much for that, but a man had to defend his virtue! Err, his manliness!

Still laughing, Okassis barely had time to scramble a few feet away before the onslaught of mud began. Crouching defensively, he took the handful on the back of one shoulder - and even if he wasn't wearing clothes he minded getting stained, the gesture was affront enough. "Shards, that's how you want to play, is it--"
Scooping up a glob of mud himself, he chucked the dirt at his friend, nearly doubled over laughing. His aim probably wasn't too great, but there were enough splatters that he was sure of some sort of a hit.

Not that it mattered if Okassis' aim was any good. Sovann was not exactly a small target, lean as he was. There was a fair chance that Okassis would hit him at such close range even without good aim. Sovann didn't pause to lament his own clothing-- at this point, it was already dirty enough. He scooped up another handful of mud and flung it in Kas' direction. "You are so, so a brat. I can't believe you said that."

Trying to duck the handful, but succeeding only to take the strike on the side of his head, Okassis huffed and grabbed up a bigger handful to retaliate with. "Ah, quit acting like a green in heat!" he mocked his friend, grinning widely.

"WHAT!?" Sovann squawked, pelting Okassis with mud. "I am not acting like a green in heat!" By the golden egg of Faranth, what had possessed Okassis to say that? "I'm not, I'm not!" Okay, that was it. Revenge time. Scooping up a double handful of mud, he threw it at Okassis, trying to get him in the face, or at least at the collar. If he missed, so be it. If not... well, it'd be funny as hell.

Okassis had decided it was time to try and wind things down, so he'd pulled himself up straight, chuckling, and begun to say something along the lines of, "Don't you think we oughta be getting back to bugs?"
He got as far as "think" before an impossible amount of mud took him in the face, filling his mouth and getting up his nose and certainly blinding him. He stood frozen, working his face and wiping muck from his eyes, spitting it off his tongue and snorting it free from his nose.

Sovann sat absolutely stock still, before an explosion of laughter sent him falling backward into the mud. "Oh Shells Kas, you're... you're!" Absolutely covered in mud. Twitching helplessly with laughter, Sovann lost every remnant of anger he had held onto. "... Ahahaha... I didn't... I mean... I..." Oh bright stars, if that didn't beat all. He hadn't actually meant to get the mud in Okassis' mouth, and all, but he couldn't contain his hilarity when it did happen. "... Hehehe... ... Ahaha... S-S-sorry!" he gasped, shaking with his amusement.

Okassis seemed nearly contemplative as he continued clearing his eyes and mouth of mud. For a few seconds, his face was unreadable - then, while Sovann was consumed by laughter, he very purposefully tied off the top of his bag and set it aside. It would be warm between before he'd let someone smack him in the face with mud without getting even, after all, and he didn't want to get the bugs crushed in the ensuing scuffle.

Oh Shards he was so dead! But it was just as well. Sovann had gotten his payback, and now Okassis would be getting his- and oh snap what was that look on Kas' face? Brandishing a handful of mud 'threateningly', he tried to still his laughter. Unfortunately, Sovann was too far gone to manage just now. "... Did... hehehe... you know-- ahahahaha... mud is good-- " Oh he was dying! "-- for your skin?" Dying, and soon to be dead!

"That's right, is it...?" Okassis mused loudly. "That being the case -- maybe you could use a little more!" He moved forward two steps, wandering - then broke into a dead run. Mudslinging was good and all, but nothing like the satisfaction (or efficiency) of tackling a particularly bothersome fisherboy into the mud!
