Harrison got a very nonplussed look at his suggestion. It was raining.
"Yeah. Why don't I check the traps?"
He got up with a hrrmph of annoyance. "Yeah Rep, we are comfy and snuggly and its raining and on a mountain, why don't you go check the traps?" he wandered off still talking to himself and grumbling.
Killer wobbled curiously along in his wake, pausing to watch him kick a stone away.
"Yeah Rep, go get soaked to the skin, that's okay you are from Scotland, you like the rain, you are used to it. Wouldn't want Ace and Yuu to have to move oh noooo." he arrived at Harrison's trap first, leaning down to examine it, it was empty but there was some nasty looking slimy s**t in it that he didn't dare touch.
"Bet I'll have to clean this up too." he lamented to no one in particular, freezing as he felt something tugging at his trouser leg. He looked down with a sinking sense of dread, only to relax again as it was only Killer. "What you doing here?" he asked with a frown, picking the little Herpicorn up. "Daft wee thing man. You could get hurt up here." He beeped the little equine's nose, feeling surprisingly better just having some company with him to talk at.
"'Mon, we don't need those two right noo." he let his accent relax quite a bit, somehow talking to animals just made it all the worse. "Mibbey ah'll huv caught somethin' tough and s**t eh? No as cute as you though."
As they reached his trap though, he noticed something actually was in it and stopped. How did you get them out? Was there a pokeball or something involved? s**t. He had no idea. He turned and jogged back to the overhang looking flustered, still hugging Killer who seemed to think the whole thing was exciting and waggled his little hooves as if he was walking despite being held aloft.
"There's something in the ******** trap. What do I do?"

Having his ears rubbed was making it really hard to think. Jordan's eyes closed, and his purr got louder. He might have had a stupidly blissed-out look on his face.

Harrison answered, since Jordan was out of commission.
"You go over there and pick it up," Harrison said, "and if you don't want it, reset the traps."

Rep gave Harrison a gloomy damp look, stroking Killer like a supervillian's cat before turning on his heel and heading right back to his trap with a muttered. "Thanks for the help there."
He placed the little herpicorn on the ground as they neared the trap, still with its red captive wriggling irritably in its confines. Killer looked less apprehensive than Rep did as he trotted over to sniff the trap curiously with a little wiggle. It gave him the courage to actually go over and take it out, picking up what he could only describe as a little irritable red bull.
It tried to gore him, which was pretty adorable all things considered. He held it more at arms length, eyeing it critically. Faint red flame danced across its skin, admittedly hindered quite a bit by this rain it seemed. Maybe that was why it was so irritable. He felt he'd found a kindred spirit, annoyed in the rain. He figured he'd keep it, especially with its spirited little attempts to maim him in various ways. Clearly that was just a sign of affection.
Triumphantly, he walked back to Jordan and Harrison, Killer skipping along in tow, determinedly holding onto the flailing bovine. "Found one." he stated in a tone that long-sufferingly implied "no thanks to you guys." without even a word.

Jordan opened one eye to peer at what Rep held. "Tha's a good one," he mumbled. "Give it a fire pass, it'll flatten things." He swiveled one ear lazily towards the area where he'd set his trap. There was a distinctly flaily kind of noise in that direction. "Did mine go?"

"Haha, guess someone out there's afraid of Chicago," Harrison said, sizing up the struggling bull. It had two horns, which was twice the goring power, and a familiar angry expression. "It kinda looks like you."
Killer kept looking up at the new friend, and delicately put a hoof on Rep's leg.
"Don't let Killer get him," Harrison warned. He cocked an ear towards Jordan's trap. "Sounds like something's over there."

He couldn't help but look pleased as the general consensus seemed to be that it wasn't a half bad catch.
His almost childish look of self satisfaction however was short lived as he gave Harrison a nonplussed look. "Ha. Ha. Very funny. " he rotated the bull to get a look at its face, something which it wasn't pleased with in the least, having a good but ultimately ineffectual indignant flail.
There was a moment of intense stare down. Rep, having more experience with a lifetime of glaring, ultimately won. The little bull stopped flailing.
Killer got the same sort of nonplussed look as Harrison, though it was far far shorter lived, he just couldn't stay mad at that little face. He patted the Herpicorn gently on the head. "In a wee minute shortarse."
Jordan and Harrison weren't in the same good books as the little unicorn though, getting soaked canine glares. "Don't everyone ******** spring to my aid or anything." he grunted, before turning and sulking off in the direction of the noisy trap, when he arrived glaring at it. Well. He'd exceeded his quota of helpful for the day.
He wandered back. "There's a bird thing in the ******** trap. You two don't pay me enough to get pecked."

It took far more effort than it should have to pry himself out from under the far-too-relaxing petting, and even then, Jordan had to shake his head sharply to clear the pleasant haze out of his brain. He got up and eyed Harrison with a small amount of amiable suspicion. "Dude, that totally isn't even fair," he complained, not meaning it. Much.
Before going out into the rain, he padded lazily over to wrap an arm around Rep's waist, though his tails flicked with distaste at the soaked fur. "Thanks," he purred, brushed a kiss across the wolf's cheek, and then went out to attend to the trap himself. It was a corrividus, of course. He caught himself thinking wistfully about snacking on it. He let it go instead, resetting the trap as the birdlike mini flapped off into the rain in a flurry of annoyed feathers and squawks.

Harrison grumbled a little as Jordan got up and he lost his space-heater, but he ultimately stayed in the alcove, keeping dry.
"You got a name for it yet? Personally, my vote is Bullshit."

Rep gave Jordan a momentarily very dazed and approving look at the kiss, his irritation melting away for just a bit as his tail wagged eagerly again. He almost felt guilty for not going and bringing the bird back before he mentally dragged himself out of that and back into the long suffering frame of mind he'd been in before. He wasn't a sucker.
Harrison got an outright pout at his suggestion. "You are just ******** jealous man." he stated, looking a bit more intent as he looked from Harrison, to Killer, to the little bull looking resigned in his arms.
"I'm calling him Massacre. Because he's more deadly than Killer."
So there.

"Just a corrividus," Jordan said as he returned to the cover of the overhang. "Nothing we don't already have, and it looked at me funny, so I let it go before it started looking too much like a snack." He shook the water out of his hair. "I like that," he added.

"Haha, all considering, I'm surprised you didn't show up with feathers hanging out of your mouth."
Harrison scowled at Rep's assertion. "Yeah, name him all you want, we'll see about who's deadlier."
At the sound of his name, Killer looked even more excited. His horn glowed a little.

Rep smirked at the mention of the corrividus, making a mental note that flapping bird things were probably called that around here. "I hear you on the snack thing. I've been getting weird ******** cravings since I got here. I'm blaming the golem."
He placed the bull on the ground carefully next to Killer. "Don't beat him up too bad"
The very confused and shaken mini known now as Massacre sniffed noses with Killer with a snort. Apparently he smelled funny.
He hid behind Rep.
"Eh.. good. Good Massacre, you can listen to orders." he snorted.

"It's a corrividus," Jordan said. "I bet they're bony and gamy anyway." He paused. "I can't believe that's even a consideration."
He watched Massacre exchange sniffs with Killer and promptly hide, and kept his ears and whiskers very still so as not to betray his internal smirk.

Killer tried very adamantly to get past the leg-barrier and lick Massacre's ear.
"Hey! Killer, let him alone. Get over here," Harrison growled.
Killer rejoined Harrison brightly, standing in a dry spot and giving his coat a firm shake. His mane and tail splattered water everywhere.
Harrison shielded his face. "Aw come on, s**t," he shook water off his own arms before looking over at Jordan and Rep. "...You dickheads just going to stand around in the rain all day? We can head back when it calms down a little."
