Severin walks deep in the woods alone. I face hidden under a cloak.

[Wake]

Tyr perched in a tree, scampering up and down the branches, observing and studying the structure of the trees and the actions of the wildlife. He hears the shuffling sound of Severin as he walks past and darts behind a branch of thick foliage, an area where he hoped he was hidden yet could track his surroundings.

[Andi Wolf]

Severin stops hearing a sudden movement, and instinctively looks at the ground to hide his face more.

[Chris the wise]

Some distance away Aurelian crouches, examining a flower.

[Andi Wolf]

Severin spots Aurelian and moves deeper into the forest away from him.

[Wake]

Tyr follows Severin’s gaze to Aurelian and instantly takes more interest in him. He hops along the branch of the tree towards the human, still tracking the other out of the corner of his eye in case of danger, but gradually forgetting as he got a better view. He got the impression that he’d get along with this person. He jumped up and flapped a short distance through the trees and perched on a branch strategically chosen to be partially hidden but exposed just enough to be seen, making just enough noise to attract his attention, yet not enough to make it obvious that he tried to attract attention.

[Chris the wise]

Aurelian stops at the sound, head snapping around, “hello there” he slowly creeps towards Tyr. “You’re awefully far south, little owl.”

[Andi Wolf]

Severin spots both of them now and backs away more, but doesn’t see a large branch in the ground and trips over it, falling into the dead leaves.

[Chris the wise]

Aurelian’s head snaps around again “someone there?” he calls, standing to his full height.

[Wake]

Tyr cocked his head a little, examining Aurelian closer at the same time he was examined. At the sound of the rustling, his attention also drawn to the sound. He jumped up and flew to a higher branch, taking a perch there where he would be safe in case of attack.

[Andi Wolf]

Severin stays on the ground hoping to not be seen.

[Chris the wise]

Aurelian squints into the leaves, trying to spot Severin’s outline.

[Andi Wolf]

Severin stays very still, even holding his breath so his chest wouldn’t move.

[Chris the wise]

Slowly, Aurelian picks up a stick and probes with it at the leaves.

[Andi Wolf]

Severin tenses up before he bolts upright and to his feet before climbing into a tree quickly.
