"Hmmm?" Erisi had to guess what Valerian did to desecrate the tree and claim it as his own. Curiosity was the only thing that inspired Erisi to move, and with another melodramatic sigh he looked around the tree to pinpoint Valerian's claim of ownership. There was a second that passed in which Erisi had no idea whether to be amused or annoyed. A small chuckle was almost a helpless response in seeing the v-marked leaf. It was easy to just reach out and... ah, pluck the tiny leaf off of the bark. "And look, now it is marked by no one." He tossed the leaf to the side carelessly and returned to leaning back against what was 'his' side of the tree.
A thin finger pointed itself into the air, as if to make a point. "If I was truly lazy, I would not be making the effort to 'run my mouth'. I'd just shut up and let you deal with it." He felt like he needed to verbalize some sort of defense for his actions. He was not the sort of person that was going to let Valerian try and walk all over him. Besides, he clearly thought himself the better individual (he always did in comparison to everyone he met), and was not going to allow his status as 'better' be challenged.
"I am still under the impression that the tree belongs to no one, but..." he helplessly shrugged his shoulders, though the gesture was likely unseen with both of their backs to opposite sides of the tree. The shrug, however, likely could be heard in his voice. "I suppose I see the virtue in the idea, since neither of us are willing to move." He truly didn't have an issue with sharing his resting spot, though he'd prefer his company to be a little less of an ass (though, could he really complain when he was probably more of one?).
