It seemed something both enjoyed and they found it easier to climb the thin trees within the dense jungle, packed close enough stretching out their body permitted them to walk between them, some needing a small jump. Muscles within shoulders and back were made for such, lifting the slight weight present on the small frame with ease, twisting the body so it might land upon each branch and move along to safer ground.
“Mai,” voice rose, behind a short huff of breath through teeth exposed in the shape of a smile, ears flicking back as they bounced a little. Not overly high up it would have been easy for the raptor to find the cinnamon dusted child, perched upon the thickest portion of branch where it connected to the trunk, yet she never did so. Confusion twisted soft features and once more CCLIV was moving, following the other from their slight vantage point. There was purpose behind each action, body drawn low to the ground as head moved between each point and sought what she thought to be right, gathering together what was deemed correct. Leaning against the trunk of a tree they watched as she slipped away within the undergrowth before she was once more moving amongst the trees, action repeated a few times.
Slowly boredom grew within the cub, gentle sound of annoyance raising. It was a great deal more difficult climbing down, wrists twisting awkwardly as they dug small claws into the thin bark, progress proving rather slow. As such it was upon the last trip back they followed behind the raptor, offering gentle squeaks in hopes it might get her attention, but focused upon her task there was nothing that might do such. Small head tilted in confusion as Masie stopped before the squat structure of a hut, the door blocked by a mound of herbs near to her own size.
Small bounce marked each step, fictional brows drown down over the dark eyes though smile played about pale lips. “Mai,” once more the name, close enough to be recognised for there still were sounds CCLIV struggled to pronounce clearly, reaching up to press a cold nose to her shoulder.
