Her ears perked up.<br/><br/>Every creature of the forest had its own sound, and this Leafeon had lived here long enough to become intimately familiar with nearly all of them. But this was an anomaly, an unknown.<br/><br/>Yawning a bit, she sat up, stretching herself out and brushing her hair out of her eyes. She breathed in the scent of the woods, closing her eyes, smiling to herself. Sunlight streamed through the forest canopy, warming her, the last remnants of her slumber draining out of her. It was going to be a fine, beautiful day, she thought. Except for those sounds.<br/><br/>They were coming from the direction of a forest path... it had to be humans, then, and if it was humans this might not be such a great day after all. She didn't mind them, in general, but it was still a cause for concern. Too many of them refused to care for nature, too many chose to fight the pokemon of the forest, taking them captive. She needed to assess the danger.<br/><br/>She crouched down and silently stalked through the trees, pausing behind a tree and leaning around it. Ah, there. It was a human after all, and an Umbreon. Was she his companion, his pet... or was he one of the bad humans, having enslaved her to fight for him, like so many others she'd seen along this very path? She couldn't judge him though, not before she'd even seen him doing anything. It could just as easily be innocuous.<br/><br/>She was going to watch and learn. Lying down in the underbrush to better camouflage herself, she studied the pair intently. If he left peacefully, then so would she.
