[Kurt's eyes widen as he looks towards the other's hand.]
Whoa! Dude, that's not all! It totally looks like it's spreading, doesn't it? Oh man... [He then looks down at his chest, clasping at his jacket to get a better view. And sure enough-]
[His voice remains flat, but inwardly, he's on the verge of panic as well. Curses are such a completely foreign idea - this isn't like some illness, something that there's a knowable cure for.
"Go into the forest," they said. Fat lot of help that was. How were they supposed to break a curse with barely any information like that...?
He grimaces as another whisper floats on the air - "Why didn't you try? You could have found them all by now..."]
Hey. Are those whispers giving you any clues?
[There's got to be something, some sort of rhyme or reason to all of this... But what?]
U-um... okay? [He's not sure what that means, and he's starting to feel unusually tired, but... whatever. He'll trust in him. And so Kurt tentatively trudges on forward!]
[So is Theo, but it's easier not to look it if he's just standing around, watching Kurt walk. He'll wait for Kurt to get a decent distance ahead before he calls out:]

no subject
I- I dunno. But the sooner we figure this out the better!!

They're just telling me about things I don't wanna thing about. Maybe... maybe we just have to ignore them!
no subject
Ignore them and then what?
no subject
...Keep moving on? Maybe... that's the trial?
no subject
You start moving ahead, then. Try to keep an eye on your mark.
[Wait, then what's Theo going to do...?]
no subject
Wait, aren't you going to come with?
