Suki sat upon a tall tree admiring the woods. The tree as a grand oak, quite an impressive tree. The forest was indeed dense, and this grand tree was a way out of the canopy. Suki sat on one of it's uppermost branches, in a spot barren of leaf coverage directly above her. This allowed the sun's rays to hit her. The slight breeze created the soothing sound of wind. The rustle of leaves was adding to the sound, and the swaying of the grasses and plants that managed to grow in such a dense forest joined the leaves and the wind. The sound it created was soothing. The kind of song one would listen to if they wanted to relax or sleep. Suki's ears pivoted and twitched as various sounds met her ears, mostly a nearby tree limb creaking or an animal snapping a stick. No doubt deer inhabited these woods too, the senseless offering perhaps more protection from predators. Then again, it was perfect for some predators.... Felines namely. But Suki doubted leopards ran wild in Konoha's woods. As it was, She might be the only feline in the area. Perhaps a stray cat might wander by? Who knew.

At any rate, Suki was content. The sun warmed her fur and the wind stirred it into motion. It was short fur, so fortunately it wasn't waving all over the place. But it moved. It swayed like a field of tall grass in the wind. Her fur was a yellow-Orange, with black markings. Suki stood 16 inches tall at the shoulders, and from Her chest to the base of her tail was 2 feet 2 inches. This made her quite a large cat. Overall, with the Sun warming her fur, and the breeze stroking her pleasurably, she didn't move when something landed on a branch below her. Her ears twitched towards it, but She was in no hurry to move. Her tail, more than 2 feet long, wished back and forth lazily, another sign of her contentment. After a moment, she began to purr contentedly. She was in a happy place. She loved sunbathing, being stroked, being somewhere high, and reading. She lacked a good book, but 3/4 was more than satisfactory. She prefered being petted to the wind caressing her, but they were similar sensations after all. Her purring increased in volume, not too loud, but probably enough to be heard a few branches below her.

Everything was going well today, and after staying up part of the night, the sensations were almost enough to put her to sleep. Only a vague curiosity about that sound below her she had heard a bit ago kept her from drifting off. However, she didn't want to move just, Only to find whatever it was gone. Suki let out a soft, contented meow, and resumed purring. What else would this day bring? Maybe she would go fishing later? Or swimming. Suki loved swimming. She had an odd love hate with water. She loved swimming, but fast moving water made her nervous. Floods and such freaked her out. She was also mildly afraid of suiton jutsu.

Suki waved her tail lazily, enjoying the sun and the breeze. The privacy was nice as well. She hadn't had a bad day, But She had wanted some time away from the village. The crowds could get somewhat vexing, and just being surrounded by others could as well. It was common for Suki to head to more private places. It didn't have to be entirely private, she was known to hang out in training areas when only a few people were there minding their own business. The point was not to be near many people more than anything. So the forests were a great place. If only she had thought to bring a book. But, it wasn't a major problem. As good as the sunbathing Was, she wasn't sure she would have been able to read anyway. A slight yawn escaped her mouth and she closed her eyes,

She heard movement below her again, she wasn't sure what it was, but shortly afterwards she heard someone. Someone calling a cat. Suki yawned again and turned, looking around and below her. It was hard to miss the boy sitting on a lower branch, his red hair stood out from the greens and browns that made up the colors of the tree. He was calling her? Suki looked around to verify the absence of another cat.

For some reason her mind wandered to a recent encounter with a prior raikage. He had said she was human in all the ways that mattered. Paraphrasing of course, but it had been Something She was glad he had said. That didn't mean she wasn't a cat of course.. Suki nodded to herself and jumped down onto his branch. Suki looked over him hesitantly and gave a cautiously friendly meow. Being able to speak human language(s) didn't mean she had to do so constantly after all. She held her tail high in the typical feeling friendly greeting body language, with her head turned slightly to one side, indicating friendly curiosity.

Who was he? Where had he come from? Clearly those noises had been him. He didn't appear overtly threatening, and that was good. Sukigace a slight smile and looked him over without speaking. There wasn't a need just yet in her opinion. Besides, it might freak him out.
