And Aerith and his crow were right.
How did it feel to fall into a trap when you expected it, but didn't expect how it would happen?
It was shocking, but it was mostly annoying. Team Aerith had fallen into a trap even after all their preparations and Aerith's guidance. It was as if they'd been baited into it, and all their preparations were just part of the process. They had fallen into a nest of poison ivy. On the trees, in the bushes, hanging from vines, everywhere was full of poison ivy.
That was the worst part when dealing with intelligent beasts, especially naturally humanoid ones like poison ivy. It might sound stupid or unrealistic, but once a beast assumes a humanoid appearance, they become more intelligent and is capable of doing things humans and other bipedal beings can do. They acted and thought not as beasts, but as intelligent and wise individuals.
So, what if said beast is already humanoid from birth?
