[ Peeping... Toms...? Is there someone nearby? He had no idea. As per usual, he’d seen something of interest to him, and immediately trotted off to get a closer look -- he’s not a peeper or a creeper, he’s a silly, impetuous nerd. So, having nothing to hide, when he’s asked to step out, he does so.

Enter Sorey in his tacky blue-and-orange swim trunks, emerging from the bushes with brush still entangled here and there. And he’s immediately greeted with--...

A gun?!

Both hands go up, like an old school wild west stickup. ]

Whoa -- don’t shoot!

[ It seems Sorey’s found interesting plant life just as Sanzo’s found a secluded lagoon. ]

Sorry, Sanzo, I didn’t mean to startle you like that! I found a new species of plant I wanted to take back to the Institute, that’s all.

[ The uprooted plant once in his clutches, (and now at his feet), validates his story.

Now pls 2 put the gun down?? ]
