Navi continued to peer below the branch suspiciously looking to see what had caused that twig to snap. Again, she scanned left and right, squinting to see past the darkness. After what seemed to be eternity of peering in every direction trying to find at least something, to her amazement, nothing was in sight. It took her a few moments before she relaxed and settled back down on to the branch. While she proceeded to lazily shut her sleep ridden eyes she couldn't help but feel...odd. At first, she assumed it could have been her imagination or that she was just paranoid and continued to keep her eyes closed. She tried to clear her mind, count sheep, adjust her sleeping position, yet nothing worked. She tried anything she thought that would get her to fall asleep, but that uneasy feeling of something lurking about the area didn't pass.
Instead, she still laid awake with her eyes closed trying to feel relaxed by listening to her surroundings. The wind hummed against her ears while the trees' leaves rustled about. The quiet park acted like white noise that dragged her into a trance. As she sank deeper into her mind, a faint "crunch", echoed. It seemed every time she listened to the "crunch", sound, it got louder. And louder. Suddenly the noise made one final "crunch", that seemed to be directly below her. Her stomach dropped. Startled, she swiftly opened her eyes and she found herself in a sudden staring contest with an unfamiliar gentleman. "Who are you?" she demanded. He appeared to be almost as tall as the branch she sat upon, for she practically sat face to face with the man. Bewildered by the sudden appearance of the guy, she surveyed him up and down. He had dark brown locks that seemed to perfectly shape his alluring face. His frame was as sturdy as the tree trunks and she was met with piercing hazel eyes gazing playfully at her. He then asked her if she was comfortable up in that tree.
She was not amused by the man acting so casually towards her. "Leave me be," she instructed. This was the first time a person had caught her so off guard that she got extremely cranky. She usually was quick witted and distant towards others but she watched as he remained beneath the tree, gazing at her. "Can't you see you're bothering me?", yet the man remained statue-like. She waited for any sort of response but was ultimately met with silence. "He seems rather harmless. Dimwitted, but harmless," she mumbled to herself. She looked him up and down again, amazed that he was still putting up with her after the rude remarks she had made. Rather than staying annoyed at the man before her, her attitude seemed to change. She was interested in learning why he still stood there in a dumbstruck fashion looking up at her. There was something about the gentleman who was standing in the moonlight under the tree that made her think that maybe, he was like her. Maybe, he too, got lost in his own thoughts...more often than others. For once, she was curious to know more about someone. Continuing to gaze at him she noticed that he wasn't exactly human. She couldn't place what it was exactly about him that didn't seem human... it just seemed to be the man's demeanor that made her think he was unique. She wondered, if this was the first time she'd get to meet someone of her same race. "What exactly are you?", she inquired as she hopped down from the branch and stood in front of him
