[Sky the Mongoose]

She leads the men further and further into the forest, until she reaches a lake, grinning a moment at seeing the result of Selena’s work. Once the lake is reached, she disappears into a tree, and the humans are left by the lake, hopelessly lost now.

She lifts herself to the top of a tree, again in less bark, and grins at Selena. “I’ll let you finish, dear~”

[Sky the Mongoose]

She winks at Selena, then clears her throat before singing a sweet, drawing song. The men begin to look over as Illedi, in perfect timing, hops out of the tree, exposing herself. She is covered with more than when she was talking to Selena in private, but her form is still very well exposed and easily makes the men drool.

She makes a beckoning gesture with her finger, leading the men to start jogging towards her as she recedes into the forest, winking again at Selena as she walks in.

[Sky the Mongoose]

She grins. “Ten? Oh yes, yes, yes!” She hops excitedly, then jumps into a tree, hopping from tree to tree gracefully but very quickly. Within a few moments, she’s disappeared from Selena’s sight, and halfway to the human hunting party,l giggling giddily all the way.

[Sky the Mongoose]

She giggles. “Alrighty~.” She rocks back and forth on the branch, smiling. She then looks back to Selena. “So what do you wanna do? I’m a bit bored, now.”

Life in the forest had been quite boring to Illedi, as would be expected of a nymph with Siren blood. She only gets to harass a few humans a year, and legends of people losing themselves in the forest have taken their toll. So she was always excited when someone knew came up, and this was even better, someone to talk to, and trick! And, she couldn’t leave! Brilliant.

[Sky the Mongoose]

“I know he is there, but he will not hurt us~, he is just scared.” She looks at Prilla. “Don’t worry, dear, you’re safe.” She gives a gentle, caring smile, before looking towards the man in the trees. “Hello, sir~, won’t you join us?”

[Sky the Mongoose]

The dryad giggles, then swoops onto the same branch as Selena in a quick, fluid motion. She seems almost weightless on the branch. She gently pokes the Elemental’s cheeks. “Awww, are we blushing, now? Obviously you have things to learn, my dear. A true master of tricks is never flustered~.” She grins, crossing her legs as she leans close to Selena, her eyes flickering lightly before steadying on a low glow.

[Sky the Mongoose]

Illedi’s eyes shine bright, and she grins. “Ohhh, have you ever seduced a human, waited until they removed all their clothing, then stole it and scattered it around the forest? It’s especially fun when they’re married, their wives get very angry~!” She laughs. “Oh, oh, oh, and, have you ever gotten a rodent in a human’s clothes? Their reactions are hilarious!” She rocks back and forth a bit more in excitement.

[Sky the Mongoose]

The dryad turns, and looks at the tiger. She gives a warm, seemingly genuine smile. “It’s okay, we won’t hurt you, no need to growl~.” Her yellows eyes shine again for a moment, as she kneels down next to Prilla, almost a display of weakness. It’s hard to tell what goes through the dryad’s head, but as far as anyone could tell, she seems like a kind and gentle creature.

[Sky the Mongoose]

“Oh, really now? Well, I must warn you, my tricks are often… taxing on those who experience them~.” She giggles. “I get them lost in the forest, trick them into wearing themselves out, do something particular based on what the thing is… And one trick in special is… a bit lewd. But I must spread my seeds someway.” She shrugs, leaning forward on her branch more as she talks, before rocking back and restarting. She seems to enjoy the conversation as well, it has obviously been a long time since she’s talked to anyone without tricking them.

[Sky the Mongoose]

“Hmmm~ That’s good, because people tend to get a bit angry at me~.” She giggles, her mischievous grin turning into a pretty smile. “I like to trick those that disturb the forest~.” Her eyes seem to shine at the word trick, and she rocks lightly on the branch.

[Sky the Mongoose]

The dryad giggles. “Your cousin is quite temperamental. I didn’t make her run away from her meal to chase after me, did I~?” Her grin grows wider, before frowning. “Yes, nymphs are very few here. I haven’t seen another in ages.”

“… Guardian, you say?” She begins to slip out of the tree, and sit on a branch, making sure that her major parts were hidden, but there was very little bark on her. “Hm. Normally, I’d be angry with those who interrupt my rest, but you seem like quite the nice girl. Tell me more about this, Guardian thing.”

[Sky the Mongoose]

A giggle resounds are the trees, coming from all sides. The giggling continues, changing slowly from a sweet, childish giggle to a deeper laugh of a full-grown woman. Then, a head, a perfect green face with yellow glowing eyes, a mass of beautiful branches with leaves hanging from them forming hair, begins to pull out of the tree closest to Selena. From the head follows the neck, then the upper chest, ending before breasts are revealed. The bark around her shoulders has dissipated, giving the sense she is naked beneath the cover of the tree.

“What is there to speak about?” She says with a grin on her face.

[Sky the Mongoose]

“I am a friend, dear. Come, come with me.” The being attempts to gently raise Prilla, then lead her into the forest, keeping the warm smile.

[Sky the Mongoose]

Richamentin waves again, then walks onto the deck after them, examining the ticket. Seeing not much to do quite yet, he sits by the entrance to below deck.

[Sky the Mongoose]

Mentin looks to Yukari, then to Ran, then to Ran’s tails. “I do nOOoot threaten you, Chen.” He pauses. “I am Mentin. My friend is Sepheri. She tAAAlks when I do not know what to sayYYyy.” He nods in affirmation to that fact, then gives another wave. “Nice to meet you three.”
