What the heck? Okay the lightning out of nowhere was weird enough but now Angel could cause some sort of weird, time slowing mist to appear? Perry just shook his head, made sure the knots were good and tight on his raptor, and then turned to see that Riku had recovered as well. Wait. When had THAT happened? Those injuries had been SERIOUS.

Perry sighed. Something weird was going on. Either Angel had done that too or Riku had some weird abilities of his own. He was thinking it was the later since Angel had been fairly focused on the fight from what he could tell.

Of course, it looked like Riku was also a fighter. Although, given that Perry had fought his Shade he had kind of figured that out already. Perry looked up at Riku with a somewhat guilty look. After his encounter with Sora and the others he'd REALLY been worrying about this whole secret thing. It wasn't so much a fear of exposure any more as a worry that people would reject him like Phineas had (at first) when he had found out. Perry was, of course, also concerned that Major Monogram and OWCA would find out and he'd REALLY be up a creek without a paddle.

But, well, at least THIS time the reason had been legitimate exposure. He could hardly just sit by and let Riku get eaten. He waved a paw, a bit awkwardly, as if to say 'Yes, hi Riku, it's me, the platypus.'
