The sunlight danced across his cheeks painting his cheeks red from warmth. He laid next to a tree. A gentle breeze shook the reaching branches gingerly and the leaves seemed to applaud. He had fallen asleep right there. He was comfortable. But he soon awoke. He yawned and stretched before sitting up. He brushed the leaves out of his chestnut brown hair and then jumped up with a start. He had fallen asleep! He smacked himself on the forehead. Ghanima was not going to be pleased with his petulance.<br/><br/>The forest around him was full of life. The bugs sang in harmony with the gentle breezes that swept through the area every now and then. He could hear a rustling nearby and figured it was some kind of fox running around. This neck of the woods wasn't known for bears or anything like that. Still, he became somewhat uncomfortable. He started to make is way back towards the clearing he'd found earlier. It was a nice little spot that would be perfect for them to camp in.<br/><br/>He had been following Ghanima for only a short while now. He still had some of his old human prejudice, but he didn't dislike her. He was afraid of her sometimes, but he found her easy to talk with most of the time. He stretched and cocked his head up at the sky when he noticed smoke rising into the air like some deformed tentacle. He smirked and raced towards the smoke. He figured Ghanima had found the spot without his help. He hoped she wasn't going to be too angry at him for being MIA for a bit. He quickly came to the clearing and he paused.<br/><br/>Layrou saw her sitting next to the fire. Her sheer size was impressive. She was far larger than any human. Of course, she wasn't human. He took a deep breath and then made his way over to her. He slid off his sack and set it down next to her.<br/><br/>"Sorry," Layrou said. "I found this clearing and then I got distracted by a weird cloud in the sky. Next thing I know I'm waking up and realizing I'm a fool!" He chuckled and scratched the nape of his neck. "But, I did bring back an assorted bit of fruit I found. So my trip wasn't entirely useless. By the way, I didn't think so, but do you know if there are any bears around these parts?"
