Aldkal watched casually as the two scurried up the tree. With a large inhale of the damp rain forest air He slid his spear through a loop in his rucksack, securing it to his back. Then with a soft grunt and heave he began to ascend, his tipless tail swinging back and forth looking for ground to be placed on. Eventually he had reached the top and swung himself onto his feet, which planted firmly in a canopy branch. He stuck his nose to the air and took another breath of the sweet air the ancient trees of the land filtered endlessly. He closed his eyes and exhaled silently before slowly reopening them and turning his head to the two conversationalists he kept as company.

They were chatting up a storm as Aldkal clawed his way closer, a bored look on his face.
