I'm lost [anzellous]

Excercise was very important for growing monkeys.

Well, that's why Arren told him.

Well, more specifically, he'd said that when he was feeling stressed that it was sometimes a better idea for him to go out and exert himself, that way the stress would have an outlet that wasn't him just laying around in his dorm room staring at the mountain of work that threatened to consume him and everything he loved. That's what had the monkey child flying through the trees at speeds most humans couldn't run at.

The benefit of all the free-running he did at home he supposed--his legs and arms were pretty strong.

"I'll just got a little further before I go back to school..." he muttered to himself before hearing something. The monkey stopped, looking around to check for a predator or something that would be a danger to him. He didn't see anything like that.

But he did see what looked like a young girl on a cracking branch. Which was probably worse. It was a tall tree too--if she fell there would be a lot of consequences. And death. Death was a pretty big consequence.

Wei's body jumped into action, preforming what could probably only be described as a flying leap between the trees. His tail curling tightly around a lower branch of a tree growing close to where the girl was falling, catching the young girl around the stomach before she had a chance to fall too far. Once he'd caught her he let gravity swing the two of them upside down like a pendulum as the adrenaline started to wear off.

He looked over at his catch. "You okay Miss?" He asked her, moving his legs so they hooked onto the branch to stabilize him and his new charge. "That was pretty scary wasn't it?"

He let out a long exhale when the girl said she was fine. Part of him had been worried that he'd harmed her by grabbing her so suddenly, but he guessed in the grand scheme of things being a little hurt around the tummy was far more preferable to being paralyzed or dead. At the mention of her wanting to go on the ground, Wei swung a little and sat up on the branch, his legs still wrapped around its thickness.

Now he was faced with a small problem. It would be kind of hard for him to climb down while his arms were filled with a little girl. He could, theoretically, just jump down from this height, and while it wouldn't be deadly in the strictest sense of the word, it would be dangerous. For the girl more than him, because it pretty much necessitated rolling.

The last thing he wanted to do was accidentally hurt the person he'd just saved.

He gave the girl a soft smile, making sure she right-side up before speaking. "Listen, it'll be easier for me to get us down if both of my hands are free. Just hold on to me tight, and I'll get us down lickity split."

Having said his piece, he waited for her to grab on before he moved along the branch on all fours to the trunk of the tree, curling his fingers and dexterous toes into the bark as he climbed back down. "What's your name? My name is Wei Hu Sun."
