It's worth a try, I guess. [Monsters he can handle, but the lack of food and all of the annoying things that have happened lately has put him into a bad mood even if he still looks the same as ever.]
Hope you have a better joke this time...even if these birds aren't dangerous, they're making quite a racket.
Did you say something? [Either the pun was so good that it flew right over Minato's head, it was so bad that he ignored it or...maybe he just happened to zone out, that tends to happen in stuffy jungles, yes.]
By the way, I thought I heard something dying just now... [And if they're listening closely they'll here something approaching them, and that something happens to be mad because its friend died- the world will never know if it was Oz's pun that did it in, sadly.]
[HE'S TOO EMBARRASSED NOW he can never revisit that pun. Instead, he just waves a hand dismissively...]
Hm? You did? [He's quiet for a second too, straining his ear and expecting to hear some distant animal shrieking or squawking, but... nothing. Nothing but the sound of foliage rustling, anyway.]
I think we should run before it sees us. [Not that Minato has much to fear from most monsters, but a pun-hating one doesn't sound like the kind of creature that will take to them.]
Otherwise it'd probably eat us for dessert, even if it dislikes puns... [He doesn't seem all that anxious though, looking down to check his shoes and patting the side of his belt with his Evoker before tilting his head at Oz.] Ready?
[Now Minato would have just run at a brisk pace to preserve his stamina, but morbid curiosity has a way of making people look at things they would be accursed to lay eyes upon and he glances back for a split second only to see something that has this for a head lunging at them.
This too wouldn't have been a problem since Minato's had a Persona that looked just as phallic, except for an earlier incident that makes him react with a strangled choke. What's wrong with this goddamned jungle, he's had enough, he's seriously had enough!]
Right ahead of you, Oz-san! [And with that Minato's taking off like the wind, with his flock of surprised birds looking confusedly at each other before chirping and joining the pursuit. He'll apologize to Oz next time, surely.]
[Ah, the jungle is after Minato for sure... Even Oz doesn't feel quite as bullied by it. Despite being useless with survival, he's actually done pretty well for himself, not having to deal with insane friends or tired Persona. He hasn't even looked back so he isn't yet aware of the True Horror that's chasing them! Why... Why this.
For now, he'll just concentrate on running like the wind, simultaneously making sure that any bird level with him doesn't trip or get squashed. They're cute, okay, he wants them to be safe!!]

Should I try a different type of joke, maybe? I've heard a lot of people like puns! [No, Oz.]

All right! But there aren't a lot of pun books in the colony, you know... I guess if I can't remember a good one, our plan won't be able to happun.
[The sound of something allergic to puns dying in the distance can probably be heard.]

Ah, was that one no good? [Happen, happun... He tried so hard and got so far.]

But Oz is too busy focusing on the pun-hating death that might be approaching to be jealous, SO:]
Ready! Ready? Set— [And then something BURSTS THROUGH THE FOLIAGE and Oz is immediately waving Minato forward.] Go!!
