A'tay sighed and was somewhat hurt when she didn't take the bag and he slowly lowered the offered item to hang at his side. He considered just walking around her and scooping creatures up himself to show he really was fine with it. He was even going to let her keep the bag to use on other outings to help with her obvious interest. But he had screwed even that up. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense to use a bucket. That way they could bring the creatures back alive in some water.
At least she didn't hate him despite that drastic shift in personality and demeanor she had undertaken. A shift that didn't seem to last long as it started to come back at the prospect of learning about the plants. Now he would have to make sure he wasn't boring when telling her about them! But if F'drel was okay with the trip to Katila, A'tay felt like he'd get a pass for bringing her somewhere new.
"Really. I promise, though not today since it's getting too late for that. We will need good lighting to help find and identify some." He hoped Kalea believed him that he would take her soon and it wasn't an empty promise. He was having trouble figuring her out and it made him hesitant to ask the next question in case it set her off again.
"Think we should head back now?" He finally asked and turned back to Xyxyth to attach the bag again and fill it back up.
