Re: Flight of Fancy (Glenn)
Venturing away from the sandy soil of the coast, the feeling of more solid earth beneath his boots was a welcome change. The smell of the ocean was still present for a time before the scent and sight of fresh dirt and grass began to intrude. As Glenn navigated through the twisting underbrush he now found himself in, he had plenty to keep his mind on. Certainly he was wary of what he might find, or more specifically what might find him, Aurine's comments about 'others' still ringing through his mind. He made sure to travel lightly, always scanning for signs of the presence of others, disturbances in the forest, marks or trails or broken twigs or the like. His experience surviving in some of the wilds of the mainland, along with his natural lineage, helping him navigate the disorienting treeline a little better. Glenn frowned inwardly at having only moss and the sun as reliance for direction though. He would have easily used his compass...if he hadn't attached it to his climbing gear. As far as he knew, that was now laying at the bottom of the ocean with his cooking tools and spade as well, along with the others.
Glenn shook his head trying to bring himself to a bit more at ease. A lot had happened in such a short time, and it was still all slowly sinking in. Only a couple of days to a few hours ago he had enjoyed the company of 5 men, gruff as some of them might have been, and helped to assist them with that aeroplane mission. But now they were gone, and he was left to struggle against an unknown wilderness with no assistance. Well, perhaps not without some, Aurine did seemed interested in lending help to him. The Sea Bishop was still a mystery to the man, and Glenn could feel his skepticism about her rising. 'Aurine...that Sea Bishop. You still have a lot to answer. How could she have known my name like that? I didn't tell her it on accident did I? No...no of course I didn't. There was never a time where that could have slipped out, but yet she still knew it somehow. She shouldn't have known that. She couldn't have known that, she mistook me for being the pilot of the aeroplane didn't she? If she could mistake that detail, wouldn't she mistake my name for the captain's as well? Or even the co-pilot? It's very strange, heck all of this is strange. I still don't get how crashing a plane in the ocean ruins someone's home either. Maybe it scuffed up some of her favorite coral or something.'
Glenn found himself focusing on working under some low lying branches, moving under and through them for a time before his mind could continue. 'She had the capacity to bind me so easily. If I had refused her and tried to run away, I wonder if she would have tried to 'fish' me off of the land.' Glenn gave a quiet chuckle at the thought, 'If she can be trusted perhaps she wouldn't, but those others she spoke of...If their anything like people, they'll come in all shapes and sizes, and temperaments too. I have to stay aware and be ready. No telling what kind of creatures, animals or monsters inhabit this island.' Inwardly he resolved to further his silent movements through the woods toward whatever destination awaited him. Himself quiet again, as he took in the sights and sounds of the forest surrounding him.
As he approached what looked to be a small opening in the underbrush, from a distance Glenn spotted what looked to be a naked human figure. His surprise was amplified when, as he closed the gap between them, he noticed the rather feline ears, limbs and tail she sported. This had to be one of the 'others' he noted, and he quickly went to hide himself within a bush that could conceal him. From where she sat, in a rather laid back manner, she didn't appear to be much of a threat. With her short curly brown hair and cat features she appeared quite cute. But appearances could be quite deceiving Glenn had learned, and though she seemed innocent as she ate of hanging fruits where she lay, Glenn kept himself wary. If she had noticed him, there was no telling what she would have done, though he had an idea, noting it with a faint blush as he watched on.
As the feline finished the fruit, she appeared quite ready to fall asleep on the spot. With her unconscious he could easily slip around her, or perhaps even get the drop on her if he desired. Before he could contemplate on what action to take, the sight of the plant itself shifting caught his attention. The visage of a mature green skinned woman emerging from parting petals secured it fully. The very plants of the island could be those 'others' as well?! Glenn felt a few drops of sweat fall from the thought, another thing to watch for now on his mind. As he observed them both, still hidden away in the bush that secured him, it became clear that the plant girl was not at all happy at having those fruit eaten by the cat-girl. A fact that became very apparent when the plant struck out a vine, ensnaring the cat-girl as she tried to make an escape!
What the plant-girl said about a future husband registered quickly in Glenn's mind. He recalled what Aurine had said before, about how they might be married before dusk, though he had thought it merely another tease at the time. Perhaps it wasn't nearly as much of one as he had imagined, and he felt his face warm at the idea. But he had to focus, the scene of the cat-girl struggling against the plant-girl's vines was a hard one to ignore. This was an excellent opportunity for him to sneak away, with them both preoccupied it would be easy. Being in such a foreign land with creatures as the one's he watched, he knew it to be a good idea. Yet, he couldn't just leave the cat-girl there to be ravaged by whatever torture the plant-girl would raise. Even if it were her own fault. Glenn didn't exactly want to get close to them though. If the plant had one vine it probably had plenty more.
Letting out a small laugh, he forced himself to action. He retrieved the length of rope he had stored away in his satchel, fastening one end of it into a lasso. If he could get the cat-girl to grip it with her han...paws, he might just be able to pull her away from the plant before it's other vines could get too many strikes off at her exposed body. He hoped he had the strength to endure a possible tug-of-war with the plant. Aurine's enchantment seemed to have been released when she unbound him, so he supposed it wouldn't be a problem. With the rope in hand, he stepped out of the brush and quickly threw the cat-girl the lasso gripped end of it. "Hey you! Take this and grab on!" Should the cat-girl do so, Glenn would pull upon the rope in an effort to unbind her from the vine wrapped around her leg, and the plant-girl that wished to punish her.
