Lucius attempted to get up from the sled to have a better look at the pod but fell over the second he got to his feet. Of course, he could've asked the leaflings to pull the sled closer, however, he already felt annoyed at his helplessness, and letting them do even that much more would make him feel worse.
~Hmm, this seems more manageable,~ he thought to himself as he tried walking on all fours. He hadn't noticed it before, but his proportions allowed him to do it quite comfortably.
However, it all still felt odd as he wasn't accustomed to it, but at least his unruly tail didn't hinder his movement as much with this method of walking.
"How did this happen?" he asked as he stared at the pod's surface. It looked smooth, almost as if it had a waxy layer covering it.
"We aren't sure. When we woke up we found you unconscious and Pagan missing. So we just assumed that the pod must've been him since there was no other explanation," Alpha responded.
"Hmm."
