[ He met the pleasantries of the staff with a practiced smile and having every intention to ignore the poor individual who decided to stick to him of all people. Words going in one ear and out the other, it only strikes him as odd the moment the person attempting to guide him also slips a curious hand onto his arm -- but that's easily avoidable with choice and their fingers phase through his body as if he held no existence within this world to begin with.

The panic and confusion in the staff's eyes are met with a curious tilt of his head, but in that very moment Tyki is taking advantage of their slowed steps and placing an unhesitating hand on someone else. ]

There you are, I had been looking for you this entire time. [ A lie, ultimately, but he'd much rather keep the company of someone who treats him like a toddler trying to walk. ] I know you're excited but that doesn't mean you leave me behind. Haha. [ Hollowed; he's just trying to get you to play along! ]

[ Tyki isn't unfamiliar with incredibly odd situations, but that doesn't mean he's particularly fond of the idea of being held by plants. The tendrils are a surprise, initially coiling around him with ease as his common movements are similar to a sloth's, but soon enough he's coming up with a simple solution to this problem. ]

Hey! [ But that doesn't mean he's going to hide his irritation. His expression only shows a tiny glimpse of surprise when he's hiked up into the air, arms tied as the sickly sensation of the tendrils attempt to slither underneath the fabric of his clothes -- immediately after his brows furrow and whoever catches his attention is met with an evident frown. ] Come here and help.

[ It's a trap, unfortunately, for those who are kind enough to actually give him a second glance. ]

( throw whatever you want at me, tbh. )
