Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shiko gripped Stilletto's coarse fur between her fingers. "I hate heights." She muttered angrily, closing her eyes tightly. "And I'm a little scared that you're going to slip or something, and I'm going to fall and die. Wouldn't that be lovely." She opened one eye to look up at Marek, then quickly clenched her eyes closed again. She really did hate heights; that had been a problem when she'd been working with the Na'vi. "Don't question it. He's some superhuman; probably dragon powers or something." Shiko mumbled, her fingers digging into Stilletto's wolf fur.

Shiko kept her eyes tightly shut the entire life they, well, Stilletto, was scaling the wall. In actually, she wasn't doing anything other than being dead-weight. Once they reached the top, she let go of the wolf and smiled nervously. "Thanks." She mumbled. "I'm not very good with things high off the ground." Probably one of the reasons she hated flying on an ikran. Breathing in happily, she glanced around, excited to be outside again. This was her element; the landscape of Pandora. This was her home. She knew it like she knew the human Base. "Great to be outside again, huh?" She asked, spreading her arms wide.

Shiko smiled, but this wasn't a smirk. This time, her smile actually was genuine. "They can make-up all the simulations and computer brain-suckers that they want, but no matter what humans do, they will never be able to recreate the real outdoors." Sighing, and shaking her head, Shiko followed Stilletto and Marek, her eye still taking in the lush Pandora wilderness. Man, she was spending too much time locked up inside.

Shiko sat down on the ground a little ways away from the two fighters, and assumed a yoga position, her eyes half-closed as she watched in bored amusement. At least she was outside. That counted for something. And maybe once the two were bored with trying to tear each other's throat's out, she could give some pointers. Or something.

Shiko raised an eyebrow. "All done? That was short." She looked up at them from underneath her short blond bangs. "Maybe he needs to get used to the terrain before he learns to fight. I thought that was a big part of soldier training. Getting used to the area that you would be fighting in." She stretched her arms high above her head, and yawned widely. "I don't know about you, but I'm totally not ready to go back inside."

Shiko frowned. "I doubt there'd be any Na'vi out here. It's too close to the Vaine's base. Besides, if they were, trust me, we'd know. But then again, the world is full of surprises. Maybe there are some Na'vi, and they are watching us...right...now." Standing up, she looked around in mild curiosity. "I'm hungry. Who else is hungry? I haven't eaten in three days." She snapped her fingers as if she had just come up with a great idea. "I know! How about we teach Wolfy over here how hunt on Pandora." A gleam came into Shiko's eyes. "Then we'd all be happy."

Shiko snorted. "Lead the way? To where? It's not like we have to go any in particular; we're outside, that's all that counts. If we look hard enough I'm sure we can find some sort of fruit to eat, and it won't take that long to find a Viperwolf or something." She turned to Stilletto, once eyebrow raised. "It all depends on what you feel like tackling. So what do you say?" Now that she actually thought about how hungry she was, Shiko realized she was starving. If she didn't eat soon, something...bad was going to happen. She was just going to leave it at that.
