Four...Three...two...<br/><br/>'Chirp~'<br/><br/>"Hyrr't~!" I responded to the sound, waiting calmly for it to come again as I crouched in the foliage, convinced it was from above. The sounds moved quickly and from almost every direction, so focusing on one of the stationary entities proved to be the easiest.<br/>The dull outline of the '<span style="font-style: italic">t'rii</span>', as I've come to hear it called, faded from sense with still no sight of the source of my friend I had been calling to for the last equivalent of 2.2 hours. A small suspicion was starting to build that the t'riis made these sounds, my attention snapped to resounding thumps of the Technomancer's flight device as he landed nearby, addressing someone a moment later who had arrived on the island while I had been distracted.<br/>-----<br/>The periodic chirps from Keepa in a nearby bush bled into the background of the bird songs, having spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out how to communicate with them. The frequency of the chirps picked up as their attention turned towards the two at the door, though the tone softer as they watched. A ladybug landed on Keepa's eye and was gone with literally a blink, already lost somewhere inside the shell; the click of the porcelain shell's eyelid serenading its addition to the mass.<br/>No sooner had the scanner beeped then Keepa fell silent, laying back against the wall where they hid as the shadows seemed to condense around them for a moment. The corner of the door shimmered for a moment as Ryan left the same wall to follow Kit inside.<br/>The discarded shell clad in groundskeeper attire rested gently to the ground as the mass left it, chasing Ryan's shadow and giving it the same glint before the door shut.
