ooc: Well, Kollek's is easier to get to, I assume. Since it's not on a mountain. And Argeus can leave his flock in the care of his Lusus.

It was strange to leave the flock behind. He almost felt like he was... abandoning them, in a way. Sure, his Lusus would ensure that the majority survived, but he was dreading the inevitable self-culling of a good number. He thought back to when exactly he left, with a final pat on the head of the nearest fleecebeast. He swore he could feel an accusing gaze on his back, but that wasn't possible. Fleecebeasts were gentle creatures, albeit incredibly stupid. He felt immense pity for any grub doomed to the protection of one. But he managed to get to the bottom of his mountain, somewhere he'd only been once, and had stopped at a rock. When he thought back on it, it was a moment of sentimental frivolity that he could be culled for if anyone found out. But at the moment, his only thought was that each step after the next one he'd be farther from his hive than he's ever been. Hassel would laugh until his blood-pumping organ stopped if he knew that. Obviously, he'd managed to overcome such senseless sentimentality and continue on his journey to his Moirail's hive for her Wriggling Day.
Said journey wasn't too difficult. He'd only had to defeat one territorial Lusus with almost mustard-colored blood and the troll it was raising. Not bad for a fleecebeast herder armed only with a shepherds crook, a single intact hon, and a bad temper. He'd come away with only minor injuries. A bite from said Lusus and small scrapes and bruises. The bite would scar well if left alone. He was rather surprised, to tell the truth, when Kolleks hive came into view. It was closer than he imagined. So there he was, standing at the edge of her lawn-ring, almost nervous to step into it. She liked hissbeasts, after all, and they liked her hive. Deciding to go for it, he gingerly walked in, something he would deny vehemently if anyone questioned him, and up to the entrance, before knocking.
ooc: Do you want them to talk with their quirks? Because some people don't like that, I've found.

It was exciting that she was finally going to see Argeus in person. Kollek had been wanting to meet him ever since they become moirails. It was just finding a good reason for either of them to visit the others hive that was the problem. Now that it was her Wriggling Day, they had an excuse to set up a meeting. But then there was the waiting, which was even worse then the planning. She'd spent the first half of the wait sitting outside of her hive before deciding that looked kind of desperate and headed back inside to distract herself.
Well, that had been her plan, anyway. Mongoose dad had other plans. Upon entering her room to look for something to do, Kollek had found mongoose dad in there along with a scene of chaos. A bunch of her sculptures had been knocked down and broken beyond repair, many of her previously organized piles of hissbeast skins all over the room. And speaking of hissbeasts, some of them had gotten out. The ones mongoose dad hadn't culled anyway. Her beautiful works on art, destroyed. Her precious hissbeasts, which at the moment she was grateful none were poisonous, either culled or loose somewhere in her hive. And her room just splattered with hissbeast blood. Oh yeah, she was beyond pissed.
"Oh my god! What the hell, mongoossse dad!?" she'd shouted before the obligatory chase the misbehaving Lusus around the hive game began, ending as she finally cornered him, just as the knock sounded, and stuck him in a cage she'd bought for when he made her angry.
Crap. She hadn't gotten any time to clean her room, or herself up after running around. She was covered in clay, bits of hissbeast skins, and hissbeast blood from chasing her Lusus around and diving after him multiple times. Great... No time to clean up. Argeus would probably be confused, but oh well.
"Coming!" Kollek called, rushing towards the entrance of her hive, tripping over herself on the way. She took a moment to compose herself, and wipe away some of the bits of clay of skin before opening the door and greeting the troll standing there with a wide smile.
"Argeusss, hi~" she said, moving to the side to let him in. "Sssorry for the messssss, my Lusssusss--Uhm, what happened to you?" it was after taking a closer look at Argeus that Kollek noticed he looked a mess just like her, if not worst. He was covered in scratches and bites. As well as a mixture of his own blood and blood that reminded her of mustard. But she was /pretty/ sure it wasn't mustard.
"Let me guesssssss, you got into a fight with one of my neighborsss?" She should have suspected as much, with his temper. It was surprising he seemed to have only gotten into fight with just only one other troll. "Come on, come inssside. You could ussse a bandage. Or two. Or sssix."

As he waited for his moirail to answer, he looked around her lawn-ring curiously, but before he could observe it fully, his attention was directed to his foot, where a weight had slid over it. When he looked down, he was rather surprised to see a hissbeast. As it idly flicked out its’ tongue and continued its’ leisurely journey over the obstical that was his foot, he heard a shout that sounded like “Coming.” So he carefully helped the hissbeast along by removing his foot from beneath it. Taking a deep breath, he scratched the back of his head, unaware that he was making his already messy hair even more disarrayed. This was the moment.
As the door opened, he caught sight of his moirails’ face for the first time, and was unsurprised to see a smile there. In the memos she seemed like she smiled a lot. But then he noticed that she had clay, and hissbeast skin, and—was that blood? Looked like it—all over her. But her smile melted off quickly. Fuck. Less than a second, and he’d made her stop smiling. Fantastic, job.
He needn’t have worried, however, as she didn’t look too angry, only concerned. This was confirmed when she voiced her guess and almost ordered him to come inside for his wounds to be tended. “GGOOD TO FINALLY MEET YOU, KOLLEK,” he said with a small smile of his own as he walked past her and into her hive. “AND YES, I DID CULL ONE OF YOUR NEIGGHBORS. SORRY.” He had the thinkpan to look slightly sheepish, hoping to dissuade any disappointment. “YOU’LL BE PLEASED TO KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT I HAD A GGOOD REASON. I WAS ATTACKED FIRST. AND THEY LOOKED LIKE HISSBEAST HATERS.” That last part might be true, just as much as it might not. But they couldn’t very well complain, could they? But he decided to deter any further questioning of his actions by asking, “SO. WHAT HAPPENED HERE?” Well, that wasn’t the only reason. He was curious, and he wanted to ensure his moirail was all right.

Kollek sighed, shutting the door behind her moirail. She was pretty sure that her neighbor hadn't been a hissbeast hater, but that was beside the point. Not like she had ever talked with them anyway. "No need to apologize, Argeusss, it'sss alright. Ssshooooooosssh." she continued, giving him a few light paps on his cheek. She got the weirdest feeling she'd be doing this to him a lot now that they'd met in person.
"Hmmm? Uh... It isss nothing really, but my Lusssusss hasss been acting up today. He dessstroyed mossst of my sssculpturesss, ruined sssome of my hissssssbeassst ssskinsss, and--" she stopped suddenly, her expression displaying how upset she'd become. She hadn't had time to register while she'd been chasing mongoosedad, but now that she was relaying what had happened to Argeus, she realized most of her precious hissbeasts were now dead. Gone, all culled. Now maybe most of them were somewhere in her hive and MG.D. has only culled a few, it didn't stop her from being upset. They were important to her after all.
But she had a guest to entertain, this was no time for tears! "And he culled sssome of my hissssssbeassstsss too... Not sssure how many though, sssince sssome jussst got out of their containersss ." Kollek finished, and then added before Argeus could say anything, "Oh, but don't worry, none are poisssonousss." That was one of the reasons she never kept those kind of hissbeasts in her hive, just in case they get out. Plus it was better to be safe than sorry, after all.
"You don't have to worry about mongoosssedad bothering usss either. He isss in the cage I put him in when he pissssssesss me off. I can ssshow you if you want."
