Actually, Kole is known to be rather angry at all times, and Cora is known to be upset over how Kole reacts to everything that isn't great. So, it is safe to say that Kole will be rather red most of the time and Cora will be a little blue. However, Stan may have just seen that something that isn't new in seeing Mudokons. So, no problem.
PV, it is rather my fault that Venks isn't posting. He was waiting for me to post my characters. You know how it is.
IC:
Kole was expecting himself to go unnoticed for a short bit of time after talking to the Vykker(Chris). After the Vykker would leave him, he would get up, find a bandage, and wrap the bandage around his icepack and his head. That way, he could use both of his hands to work and comfort his ear. It would be killing two birds with one stone.
Yet, that didn't go as planned. From the corner of his eye, he could see someone approuching him. It was bigger than he was, so it could be a number of people. Turned out, it was that Big Bro ((Stan) Apparently, Mudokons have the ability to identify Slig indiviuals, after working with Sligs for a certain number of years) who was approuching him. He wondered what he wanted, since he never thought a Slig would ever want a conversation with him. Maybe it had to do something with the fact that he was talking to Cora in a whisper.
The Big Bro sat down with him and placed a hand on his shoulder. His reaction was to tighten his muscles and jump away. Who knew what this Slig wanted from him. Kole's eyes grew wide with fear and waited for the Slig to speak. The Slig spoke to him about Kole's 'incident' (He didn't say anything about it specifically what happened) back at SoulStorm Brewery and the fact that Stan had received torture himself. Stan continued, "
I...just want you to feel you're not alone here, you've got friends who'll look after you and protect you here, okay?...I'll see you a bit later, okay? I gotta go..."
Kole didn't know what to think after the Slig left him. At first, he was absolutely furious at both Stan and Cora. How could this Big Bro know how he felt? Sure, this Slig looked a little red and had a bullet mark on his chest, but he doubted the fact that he had been tortured so well that a little life was left in him! And what he did was an accident! He never meant to do any trouble! Did the people he thought that gave him a good job make be electrified over a Tear X-Tractor for nearly two days straight without breaks? Did these same people make him believe that he had it nice and could defend himself and be innocent until proven guilty? Kole didn't think so.
And Cora. How dare she say anything about his torture! That was something personal. He didn't want word to get around that he was a Mudokon who nearily lost his life under a Tear X-Tractor. This could affect how his job is ran. Some Sligs like to use this as an opportunity to bug him about it. And his fuses would be lit if that happened... It would hell for him.
On the other hand, he felt a little okay, and not mad. This Slig referred to him as a friend. A Slig friend would be nice for him. That would mean he had one less Slig to worry about. That wouldn't be horrible... And Cora. Cora was the one who practically raised him. She probably trusted this Slig that would probably keep a secret and be a good person. What her judgement was could be trusted. At least the Slig was only ignorant and not arrogant.
Before he could see what Cora was doing to the other Mudokon (Jim), someone was talking to him. He looked around to see that the Vykker (Chris) was still there. Puzzled at the sight of the Vykker who didn't leave him, he was about to say that he was fine when it said something that blew his mind.
"I've changed my mind. I'm going to examine you along side a full physical. You are in no shape to be working right now.", said the rather serious, yet dressy Vykker.
This baffled Kole. How on Odd was he unable to work in such conditions? He's been doing it for a couple of years and other Mudokons have been in accidents as well. Why would this Vykker want him out of the work force? The Glukkon back at SoulStorm Brewery had taken him out of the work force for days after his incident because they believed he would get into another 'accident' if he was sick from the torture. But this didn't seem to make sense. Of course, he wasn't crazy to work. Yet who would make the instructions around here? Kole was maybe the only person here who knew how to cook or prepare food. Someone had already taken his place. Maybe he could make some last minute calls, just to make sure this Mudokon knew his stuff.
Kole stood up from his chair, with his hand still covering the ice pack on his ear, looked around for a bandage. He didn't expect to find any bandages in a kitchen of all places, but he did expect to find something. Looking for something, he stumbled across a large piece of cloth that held together a bundle of the Spooce bread. There was two of them, and each had a very sticky end to it. He grabbed two of them, and with his spare hand, he stuck them over his ice pack and stuck them onto his head, covering his ear. His other hand that was holding the ice pack slid off and rested against his leg. Now he didn't have to worry about his ear.
The new mudokon taking over his position was a problem on the other hand. It didn't look like he knew what he was doing. Maybe he could help him out for now. He walked hastily to Jim and started to crouch down to his level. He looked at him sternly and whispered to Jim, "Buddy, I need to you to listen to me. What you need to do with this Meep after sheering it is to remove the blood in it, okay? Afterwards, grab a butchering knife and a butchering sheet of paper with a Meep diagram of it's insides. You might need to grind it up first, which means you are going to get a little bloody. Remove the bones, veins, and all the stuff not on the diagram. Be sure you are in a good room to cut it up in. De-skinning the unlucky Meep would be necessary too. Save all the stuff from the Meep, we are going to need it later for things that would be nice to serve, but I can't go into details right now. You guys still need to make lunch as well. Don't worry, sandwiches with Meetle meat should be fine. Please don't mess up. Okay, bye now!"
He flew off away from Jim and Cora and went toward the exit of the Mess Hall. With the note at his hand, he grew worried and angry. Kole didn't trust the Vykker, since the Slig authority didn't either. He didn't know what to expect from the Vykker who assumed he was in no mood to be working. Yet, he was worried that maybe something is indeed wrong with him. Maybe something horrible is going to happen to him. He would just have to wait and see...

Cora realized that this volunteering Mudokon wasn't hungry and shrugged it off. Maybe she could do something for him later. She wondered how she could help him in the area, but then Kole came up to them. He had fixed the ice pack onto his ear without his hand's help and was leaving. Cora had just hoped he was okay. She wouldn't want anything horrible happening to Kole.
After Kole's instructions, she said to the other Mudokon (Jim), "Hey, we should move the Meep into the other room. It would be pretty hard to do butchering on a floor. I will pick up one end, and I will pick up the other, all right?
"Anyway, my name is Cora. The other Mudokon you saw with the ice pack is named Kole. He is kind of like my son, but he is rather... unsteady. He knows what he is doing, but he is very anal, and will stick to what he thinks. And let's just say he beats himself up and isn't very kind to Sligs."
