"It was tragic, absolutely tragic!" A muddy sock puppet spoke up, since Sonnie was at a loss for words. "Not to mention embarrassing..." It laughed rudely, wiggling its googly eyes. Sonnie himself looked elsewhere, looking for opportunities to run away without being caught by the faster lusii and sheer higher number of trolls.
"I mean, I don't think you want to know. You really don't want to know." The sock paused between explanations, buying time. "You won't be able to cleanse it from your memory. I know I haven't. Still see it in my brightmares, to this day."
Kermie, taking the cue from Sonnie, nodded emphatically.

Brightmares? The slapmark across Reisio's cheek seemed to sting as a reminder of how badly this could break. Suddenly, they felt a little uneasy. Angry, uptight, but no longer quite as confident.
It wasn't helped by the strange appendage that was now speaking. They found themselves with a lump in their throat. Another creature, attached to the muddy troll by the arm, speaking alongside it. Perhaps it was the slap, the swamp gas, their bad eye and creeping suspicion of the supernatural, but... The anatomy of this troll was difficult to make out, not to mention the horrifying possibilities of what the incident could have been.
They cleared their throat with a small huff and looked towards Oisier. To show weakness in front of their other half was one thing, but all the hairs were sticking up on the blueblood's neck. They bared their teeth again. "Hm!!" Was all they could manage. Their hands balled up in what they hoped was a tough pose, then (unable to find a place for them) they ended up on their hips.
"Sounds like... You are a real bad specimen to have to live out here. And... Good riddance." Reisio came up with an idea, it obviously lighting up their face. "You know what? We should get out of here. And, then we will see what your story is. And then we will get some answers! And if any funny business happens, then us and the military will find you!"
That's right. Lay down the law and get the heck out of there! Reisio turned smugly to Oisier for support.

Oisier watched the sock puppet with laser focus. To their disappointment, it didn't divulge much more information. Oisier frowned and shrugged, pretending to be less bothered than they were. "Well fine," they replied, obviously bothered. "If you don't want to tell, then don't act so suspicious!" Making a story sound so cool and then not telling should be a crime.
Belatedly, they realized their lusii were having trouble with removing the poultice from the jar and seemed to have resorted to... just eating it. Oisier shooed Planariant away and took the jar. They smelled it and immediately wrinkled their nose. Yup. Smelled like medicine. And old cabbage.
They turned back to Reisio, catching their twin's eye. Reisio was telling the truth, as always. "Not to mention you are being very rude!" Oisier sniffed in Froggy's direction.
Experimentally, Oisier scooped some of the poultice out of the jar and smeared it across the side of Reisio's face.

What if the poison affected the thin membranes of their lusus more intensely? What if the froggy creature ate them? What if their extra appendage ate them?
Reisio tugged on their twin, but soon fear overcame them. They wailed, again. "I want ... to go home!"
Between being paralyzed, codependent and frazzled, they were stuck to the spot clinging to Oisier. The lusii, however, took the cue. With another airy, wet hiss, Flatparent swooped around and wrapped its form around its charge in a tight embrace, depositing the child on its back. Under the cover of one defensive lusus and the primed for escape, they began to back away from the aggressors. Reisio clung to the soft, slick surface of Flatparent and buried their snotty face.
