Bounding from branch to branch in the canopy Drayden was making good time. Well, he would be if he actually knew where he was going. Not that he didn't know where he was going, he knew he had to get to that one floaty place La-someting-or-other, but at the moment he was still looking for a partner. Drayden was determinded to find a partner, that way the rest of the trip chasing down whatever-its-called wouldn't be so bad. After all once he found his partner they could talk about their life stories, hobbies, taste in music, or whatever they had in common, Drayden wasn't too picky as long as they could get to know one another he was fine. Yep, as long as he could talk to them he knew they could get along. Then it occured to him, what if they were deaf or couldn't speak. Hmmm... Oh! Maybe they could teach him sign language. That would be soooo cool, it could be like their secret way of talking, well not that secret, but oh well. 

Finally deciding that just heading off in a random direction wouldn't work very well he scaled to the top of his current tree. Looking out from the upper branches Drayden could see the floaty place doing its floaty thing and decided he'd head that way since that was where most of the others were headed, probably. Throwing himself away from the body of the tree the monkey tailed boy flew towards the trees below him giggling like mad. Managing to grab a thick branch he swung on to it and landed with his feet on it next to his hands. Smiling in excitement he perched there for a moment. As he started to move though he witnessed a flash of black feathers whip through the branches in front of him. Immediately he hid behind the nearest tree trunk his mind screaming NEVERMORE!!!! Taking a breath he paused, 'Wait a minute that was too small to be a nevermore, silly brain. Wait! Feather Girl! Yay! Partner!' Taking off her general direction Drayden began to debate his introductions.

Before he could act out any of the possible introductions the girl dissapeared from his view. Stopping for a moment he looked towards where she was. Continuing forward slowly Drayden called out, "Hey ummm Feather Girl you, okay? Want to be partners?" As he reached the area that she dissapeared from he saw her standing in a clearing with another girl. "Oh well nevermind looks like you have one." Drayden said as he dropped down from the trees still as upbeat as ever. It was then that he took notice of the third figure in the clearing. His eyes immediately locking on to the dark red cloak he zipped over to the cloak and its wearer. "Ooooooh, nice cloak," he stated excitedly while circling the girl looking her up and down, before pausing to stop in front of her. "I'm Drayden Til," he spouted eagerly holding his hand out to the mysterious person, "Lets be partners."
