[ the sloth is so delicate and slow with its movement, it doesn’t even poke too much. with its perpetual smiley face in check and one tiny claw toe hanging onto him from his shirt, next comes the other claw, letting go of gamzee to cross the air bridge to the new large, warm standby thing. gamzee makes sure to keep his hands under the little guy, just in case, but soon enough
the switch is made. yosuke has aquired one. one sloth friend. ]
He thinks you’re a friend. [ still covered in sloths, gamzee turns his eyes up to the one crawling across his mass of black hair. hi buddy . . . ] Seen their tree . . . Hangin’ around?
[ gamzee chuckles at his pun and whispers: honk. ]
[ He's not sure how to handle this. He...doesn't really want to hurt it. But it kind of smells?? What is that smell. Is that normal?
Okay, in comparison to Gamzee, Yosuke looks completely normal with his one sloth buddy who he feels inclined to hold more like a child than let it hang off of him. He's just not meant to be a tree. ]
...Did you just--
[ Yes. That was a terrible joke. Yosuke looks displeased. The sloth looks pretty much like it did before. ]
...Forget it. Yeah, we're like halfway across the zoo from the sloths. I think.
[ Give him a second to check a map. ]
Yeah, it's down that path. Let's at least get these guys home, okay?
You got it. [ that, my friend, is the smell of algae growing on furry backs. the sweet scent of trees and greens.
poor guys. they should be sleeping at this hour, but all this commotion an sloth handling has made them as alert as sloths can look, which . . . isn’t very much! gamzee starts walking at an excruciatingly slow rate, always keeping a wandering eye on his mostly still and hanging friends. he wants to be a good host. ]
Hear that, smile brothers? Or, bitches . . . We’ll get yous all— [ man, wow, he has a moment. ] What do you think they’re thinking about—?
[ Yosuke is starting to see why the sloths have taken to Gamzee. Or vice versa? They're clearly cut from the same cloth. Yosuke has some concerns...
He's going to have to get all of these guys home, isn't he?
He tries a faster pace buuuut that really isn't doing much, is it? Yosuke sighs, resigned to this...snail's pace. (There was a perfectly good opportunity to bring up sloths again but he refrained.) ]
I don't know...leaves? Sleeping? That's pretty much all they do, isn't it?

He actually feels a need to protect the sloth from this. ]
...Okay, promise me you're never gonna do that again. Like. Ever.
