[indent][color=7c92b0]"Okay, this is the last one...alright?"[/color] Eli cooed in a hushed tone. She placed an almond towards the middle of the branch, slowly and without any sudden jerks. Then she positioned herself as she had been, her back resting on the trunk of the tree. She continued popping almonds into her mouth as she waited for her new friend to accept her gift. The squirrel, which had succeeded in scoring half of her almonds already, quickly scooped up the almond and began nibbling on it. Eli felt the smile on her face linger for too long. [color=7c92b0]"It's times like these that make me forget the world's gone to hell, lil bud."[/color]

As if on cue, her new squirrel friend bolted up the tree in a frantic rush. Eli was immediately on alert, her pack of almonds now back in her bag. She knew the undead were too stupid to climb trees, but if they got a whiff of her being up there then it would be troublesome. She did not want to repeat the time she got stuck for days because of them. Eli glanced down to see the origin of what had spooked her newfound friend; a lone zombs. Instead of unnecessarily bashing its head in, Eli circled around the tree and began climbing down the other side. 

It was time to find another hideout. [/indent]
