Chal gave a little chuckle as his friend faltered over a bug, finding it too cute, but vowed to keep a better look out for the bugs to keep them from teasing poor Takoda too much. The climb down the tree was a quick one and the moment his feet touched the ground he shifted his pack, brushed off, then turned to look over at his friend when he thanked him, saying he hoped to be there for him as well, "I am sure you will be." He'd already been there for him after all, helping him to find food for his family, helping him out with his wounds, and otherwise just being a good friend.

Falling into step alongside his friend the Shifter gave a smile, ruffling his hair as he often found himself doing, before they were soon on their way back toward camp. He hoped that what they had found and brought back would be of use to those that they were travelling with. They would see soon enough he supposed he though to himself as they walked along, his eyes flicking from side to side to keep an eye out for any bugs as well as any other sorts of danger, relaxing only after they'd made their way back.
