IC: Urk. This was not something Shryke had been expecting. Shryke was worried that they would attack if he said blatantly "No". There was lot to fight and he would be badly injured, if not worse, and the battle with the Sligs was imminenet...Shryke thought carefully. He'd have to shake them off...Shryke then said to them "Sorry, I can't do that. These Fleeches are my friends, I couldn't do that to them". A he had expected, the lead Paramite leapt at him, fangs and all. He batted it away with an arm and quickly ran off into the forest as they pursued.
He was faster than them, but not enough to shake them off easily in time. First he tried to zig zag about, but the paramites were good at turning. He then tried to think of a better plan... Then he saw that they were coming to a ravine. He leapt over it and the Paramites were close behind. He quickly swerved round and s the Paramites leapt, he knocked them back away and down the ravine. They tumbled down through the branches and landed far down at the bottom, not harmed much, but stuck down there. They hissed loudly in much aggravation before wandering off along the ravine elsewhere, looking for somewhere to nest.
Shryke then quickly returned to the Fleechs, and said to Slurp "Whoa, those Paramites, they wanted me to..." then he suddenly stopped and was silent. He heard the propeller noises. He then realised that the Sligs were now coming...
