Etho isn’t scared, if anything he’s relaxed and everyone else (besides Grian, Pearl, Jimmy, and Martyn) would tell him that he should be on guard around Joel because he’s psychotic but if anything he’s glad to not be on the other side of the axe. Matter of fact he doesn’t know why (almost) everyone avoids him when he’s red and yellow. Etho knows way too much about he’s to do that anyway. He knows that when Joel’s upset his ears press against his head, he knows that when he’s happy his tail wags, and he knows the way he tilts his head to the side ever so slightly when he’s genuinely thinking. He knows that Joel’s surprisingly touchy, and he pretends he not, but smiles to himself every time Etho squeezes his hand or pats his head or taps his shoulder as he walks past. Current time: They killed Pearl and got her on yellow life. Except rather than guilty Joel looks elated. Tilts head "What’s up?"
