The arrival of both Twin Teens may have spelled out a certain sense of chaos on any other occasion, but it's to Roland's benefit that this meant more hands to help with whatever it was that's happening before him. And it's a lot to take in, the beeping growing louder and the movement by the corner of his eye more suspicious as it turns clear something else is inside of the tent with the three of them.

But Roland has to ask himself which one does he focus on first? The incessant beeping that's made no better with Tidus's roughhousing on it, good intentions aside, or the thing moving about? Demon? Critter? Worse?

He makes a face; clicks his tongue against his teeth. Between a pile of stuff rummaged around and the void radio showing activity, his attentions would be better suited to the latter. Roland makes to stand but not quite, not yet, gesturing to Inigo first with a quiet shush in his lips, beckoning him with a wave of his hand. Roland doesn't talk, but rather nudges his head towards the moving supplies. Then, he makes a motion to unsheathe Inigo's sword in the event they've been infiltrated. Lets hope his charades skills are good enough to be translated despite the silence. Behind the sleeping bag, he begs without words. Behind it, pup!!!

Meanwhile, his other hand tries to wave at Tidus: a clear and jarring motion of his arm to please stop shaking the thing and bring it to Roland so he can listen closer too. The beeping is familiar to Roland, distantly. But he doesn't jump to any conclusions yet, just trying his best to manage two things happening at once. All the while, his gaze shifting to and fro, not knowing what might surprise him this time. More beeping? More things moving in a tent that should be empty?

No, it's the beeping that's getting him on edge. Why is it doing that? Why does he feel like he's heard it before...?
