[San doesn't pay attention to your silly little human books unless she needs to yell about the forest. She's clueless about any kind of experiment. However, she's also resting in the cave right now - having moved a lot slower lately because of, um, circumstances - and so the book she so carelessly tossed aside is picking up her thoughts]

[ Well, if she's at the edge of the forest, chances are she'll come across Ginko. It's where he's been all day-- and likely all week, at the rate things are going.

And in that thought bubble, rather than words, will be glowing things-- floating in the air. Images that look much like these.

He's rather lost in thought.]

[forestpride]

[she sees them, keeping her distance but watching in mildly confused fascination]

[The responding thought bubbles from her are of the kodama and the Deer God and his herd]

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

[He might not have heard or seen her, if it weren't for the motion of the thoughts over her head. His own smooth away into the air, as he glances curiously at the image of the god.]

....is that-- the Forest God, of your world? [he pauses in his steps, so as not to come to close-- but gazes all the same]

[ action ]

[forestpride]

Yes.

[in her thoughts are his footsteps - plants grow from them and immediately die]

[Well after hearing her thoughts from before and spotting San later, Sokka is curious about his fellow hunter, especially given that's she's been scavenging so much lately. Right now though he's curious about those people she's thinking about and why.]

[when she spots him the thought bubble flashes to him, then instantly to Katara offering her food out of respect. She doesn't seem to think much of Sokka]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Hardly surprising. Sokka is far and away from the Moro fanclub. He debates on approaching her. She's not exactly the friendliest person in Luceti, but she's also one of the few real hunters he knows besides Hugo. And unlike Sokka, Hugo isn't terribly interested in picking up on that again. So fool that he is, Sokka is slowly going to make his way over there doing his best to not do something stupid.]

What do you want, human?

[trying not to think about anything]

[tatzenkreuz]

[What sad thoughts! He doesn't respond, though he's more than ready to interact when he spots her later on in the day. He approaches, curious.]

San! Hey!

[action]

[forestpride]

[she's pulling spindly little plants out of the ground but jumps back when she hears him. Her thoughts show she doesn't remember who he is]

[action]

[tatzenkreuz]

Whoa, hey, what's with those thoughts -- ah, don't tell me it's like that. [He shakes his head.]

"Friends"? Does that ring a bell?

[action]

[forestpride]

[her wolf brothers are what she's thinking of now]

...You're that pushy human.

[goldenpathredux]

[Heading for the mountains, Leto feels vibrations below his feet. Graceful footfalls of someone used to walking in this environment. He feels clumsier here among the leaves, away from his beloved desert. He watches her picking the berries. She must know what's safe to eat here...Not that it matters to him, but he could bring some back as a gift.]

[forestpride]

[because her thoughts are so focused, she doesn't notice him - she can't smell like a wolf, after all]

[goldenpathredux]

[Slowly he steps forward, as not to startle her, and pitches his voice soothingly]

Are these the edible ones?

[forestpride]

[she looks at him with hard eyes, instantly identifying him as 'human.' In her thoughts is the village's grocery]

You don't need food from the forest.

[mountain_sage]

[And Saleh is on his way out of the forest after making a rough sketch of the New Feather station locations. He studies the sketches as he walks.]

(I believe that should suffice.)

[Just before reaching the perimeter, he spots San and just...stops. There is something unusual about her, and yet so familiar.]

[forestpride]

[she picks up on the thoughts, and the sound of someone moving through the forest, and stands, looking straight at him]

[mountain_sage]

[And he'll stare back at her serenely. He could see the pride in her eyes, much like the pride that had been described of the legendary hero from his world.]

(Nada Kuya...?)

[forestpride]

I don't know that name.

[until he gets on her good side - if ever, very few straight-up humans manage that one - everything she says to him will have a forceful, almost angry tone]
