Lucius decided to keep watch on it for a while, keeping dead still as he hid behind a tree.
After watching for a few more minutes he came to the conclusion that it was indeed lost. It kept changing directions erratically, almost as if it were moving merely for the sake of it.
Whatever liquid was pouring from its thorax seemed to be due to an injury. As the limping appeared to be caused by trauma to its front leg, near where the site of 'blood' was coming from.
~Was it in some sort of fight?~ he wondered, carefully moving to the next tree so as not to lose sight of it.
He could very well just kill it right now, however, that would leave many questions unanswered. For one, he still wasn't certain whether the insectoid was a colony type, which would mean that there were more nearby causing even larger problems if he unnecessarily killed one of their kind.
