Krieg glances to one side at Magellan when he hisses, then looks back up to Armin. He laughs, and is about to say something in reply when he's distracted by some very distressed-sounding noises being emitted by a very anxious Zen Doll. The Darumaka had hidden himself fearfully behind Torch Dragon when it witnessed its human buddy being cat-piled by three very big, very aggressive 'Mons. Now that the commotion has quieted, Dolly has gathered his courage and is waddling toward the group at top speed, followed by TD who is attempting - unsuccessfully - to soothe the little guy.

Get away from him you big bullies! What did he ever do to you? Leave him alone!

He's fine, I promise, they do this all the time when they're around, it's just for fun, nobody gets hurt...!

Krieg, hearing only the sounds but understanding nothing of the content, pushes Polo off of his chest to flop beside his brother in the sand. Free of his cat prison, he sits up and reaches out to scoop Zen Doll up. Dolly immediately latches on and smashes his face against Krieg's neck, trembling.

"Does it work?"

Can such a small spray bottle really cow such very large and rowdy cats?
