Rare Hare

Alexander Järn, the man in the forest, has been on the island for closer to six months now. Eight out of ten meals during this time, he had claimed from mother nature. Today, however, he was not running at top speed through the vegetation to fill his belly. Today he had seen it again, the three-toothed hare with purple eyes. Last time he had seen it, it had outrun him. His pride as a hunter had been hurt badly, and it had happened so quickly that Alex had begun thinking it had been a dream. But it was real, and incredibly fast. The only reason Alex had not lost track of it was the fact that today, luckily, the wind blew in his direction. He was running as fast as he could, practically blindly. His only sense able to keep up with the hunt was his sense of smell.

The situation was in no way stealthy, and it had been going on for a while. Alex was not at all aware where the hunt had taken him, all he knew was that he was still in the woods, somewhere.

Wei was fast asleep in a tree, one of his feet kicking leisurely as he snoozed. The sun moved slowly through the sky, like a mobile that kept him warm and eased him into a deeper slumber. The monkey boy would normally be content to snooze in that tree all day, since he had nothing to do and nowhere to be. Dance!!! had been under new management for a while since his mental breakdown at the end of the last semester, he wasn't in the SGA anymore, and he didn't intend to run again until he was in college.

For all intents and purposes, he was free to do anything he wanted.

It was amazing how content he could feel when he wasn't being pulled in ninety directions at once.

The sound of something tearing through the lower foliage roused him, peering down from his perch to see what was coming this way. It went past like a blur. Curiosity and they fact that he had nothing better to do made him get up and follow this blur from his high perch in the trees.

The hunter left behind him a trail of broken branches and the like, there were even notable blood trails at irregular intervals. At the end of said trail stood now Alex, looking out across the lake. He could not believe he had lost it again. Ruffling his hair to get the splinters and leaves out, he just stood there in a mix of bafflement and disbelief. To him, it seemed either the hare had grown wings... or teleported.

"...shit."

Wei followed as fast as he could, his simian biology letting him swing through tree branches with impressive speed. Still, this blur was tearing past like a bat out of hell. Finally it seemed like it was slowing down.

As it slowed down, he got the opportunity to look at it properly. Seemed like it was a guy. He wondered how a guy like that could move so fast, and what he was trying to run after. His tail curled up as he dangled from the tree by his arms.

One easy swing and he was hanging upside down, his legs hooked over the branch. "Hey, what were you chasin'?"

Alex twitched, he had not sensed the elevated apeman's approach. Internally he cursed his overflowing adrenaline, he hated not noticing people approaching almost as much as he hated birds. He glanced over his shoulder while his other senses still worked to locate the infuriating critter.

"Roger Rabbit" he muttered dryly. He gave the lake a final glare before turning to the magic primate. Alex approached until he stood almost directly below him. "How's it hangin'?" he said with a grin. "I'm Alexander." He stretched out a hand for a shake.

"Roger Rabbit huh?" Wei said, watching as the man walked over. His fur bristled a little. He could tell this guys was a predator. As much as Wei liked to be friendly and make new pals, he was still part animal. He was very aware of his place on the food chain, and that place was, sadly, not all that high.

But he seemed friendly enough, and Wei had no reason to flinch away from a guy offering what appeared to be a perfectly fine olive branch.

He reached out his hand, engaging in an upside-down handshake before dropping from the tree, landing safely on his feet. Compared to the diminutive monkey, Alexander was quite large.

"Name's Wei HuSun. So were you really chasing a cartoon rabbit or....?"

Alex instinctively memorized Wei's scent as they shook hands, unconsciously noticing the slight hesitation, and unaware of it himself, softened his grip. The ape was not prey, after all.

"I might as well have been... that bunny's no joke." He glanced at the lake before continuing. "I must've chased it for an hour, if not two. I was a whole day of walking to the north when I saw it."

Alex considered himself human, but he had lived his life in the wild. He had some animalistic vibes to him, but in conversation he acted almost boringly common. In fact, as he had caught his breath and his senses had relaxed over the past minute, he almost seemed several shades more "natural" (as in not supernatural) than when he first had faced Wei. Apart from the fact that he seemed perfectly unhurt, even though parts of his clothes had been very recently torn and in some placed even bloodstained.
