Ric had ben running for awhile now and was growing tired. Not wanting to waste all of his energy to get to the drop-off point (in case he had to defend himself from a pred or two) he decided to rest for awhile, but not on the forest floor. No, it was much too easy for someone to sneak up on him in this dense vegetation.<br/>Ric looked around for the tallest tree he could find; however, most of the trees in this area were close to the same height. Once he found one that he like he climbed up its trunk as high as he could. He couldn't go too high otherwise the branches would break underneath him. Up here was a nice spot. He could see more stuff on the ground and further ahead of him.<br/><br/>He plucked a fruit from one of the branches and bit into it hungrily.<br/>"This really is a nice spot. I've got food. Some nice, warm sunshine. And I don't have to worry about predators too much." He said before taking another bite into his fruit. "The way I see it. If I don't see them before they get to this tree I might still here them climbing up. And if that happens I can throw fruit right into their faces as a weapon. However, if that doesn't work I still have the option of leaping to another tree. Yeah this is the perfect spot for now."
