The forest child floated erratically through the branches of the ancient, long-dead, tree. Her red kimono dragged across the rough bark, breaking tinier branches from the tree. The debris scattered across the ground below her.
Toshie ran her fingers in curls through her short brown hair, flashing out any given number of fingers as she came to the ends. It was the crazy Forest Child's mock on dancing. But from anyone else's prospective they may have found Toshie crazy with her erratic motions; never the less executing them high in a tree and counting the branches she sent falling to the ground. But that was Toshie. Annoying and crazy.
"One branch, two branch, three branch, four." She singsonged as she floated and flashed high in the tree.

Grumbling to himself as he stumbled through the thick woods running a message for his master,
Ramial nearly jumped out of his skin when a small branch clipped his nose on it's way to the ground.
Stopping and glancing up, the twilif thought he saw a flash of color; but before he could try and
see what it was, he found himself blinking furiously to get pieces of bark out of his eyes as another
small branch landed squarely on his face. Uttering some of the choice words he'd heard late at night
in the tavern of the inn where he worked, the boy dropped his lantern and brushed frantically at his
face trying to get rid of the painful irritation and welling tears.

Toshie heard it! She heard the noise of the approaching twilif! Oh, it excited her and she bolted from the top of the tree to the lowest hanging branch. She hung there with her legs dangling and her hands securing herself to the branch between her legs. Toshie leaned dangerously far forward and stared the intruder square in the face. She giggled at the twilif's misfortune in a lyrical giggle.
"Baby got something in his eye?" She cooed with a c**k of her head. Her tone was almost condescending.

Finally clearing the last bits of bark from his eyes, Ramial looked up at the sound of a ringing
mocking tone taunting him from above.
There was... a forest child? He hadn't seen many of them before, they weren't fond of town.
"Yeah, bark! Probably no thanks to you, it's raining sticks!" the twilif grumped at the female,
hands crossed sullenly over his chest.
He didn't have time for this ridiculousness. He wanted to run his errand and find a nice warm, dry,
non-forest-like place to sleep before it got too dark. And this lunatic was throwing sticks at him!
Looking for he'd dropped his lantern, he bent to retrieve it so he could be on his way.

Toshie fell gracefully from the tree, the excess material from her robe drowned her now standing from. She took a few steps and put herself right in front of Ramial. She looked him over and studied every inch of his appearance. Then, she mimicked the twilif's movements. Toshie revealed a hand from inside a long sleeve and bent down just so to pick up an invisible lantern. She giggled so.
Her mahogany eyes bore into the top of the boy's skull.
"It's raining sticks?" She cooed. "It only rains water, silly."

'Only rains water...' Ohhhhhh, what a.... Ramial was too angry to come up with a good
insult for her. Besides, he'd been taught MANNERS and it was rude to insult a girl.
Of course, it was rude to throw sticks too.
Now the stupid girl was giggling in an inane and creepy fashion and bending to pick up... what?
Ramial saw nothing unless... unless she was getting a stick or dirt to throw at him.
Why couldn't he meet nice people? Why did he get attacked by weird girls and temperamental cloaks?!
"When one is foolish enough to dance around in the top of an old tree, it can rain sticks to!" Ramial
poked the girl in the shoulder with his free hand and waved his message beneath her nose with the
other. "Now get out of my way, I have to deliver this before nightfall..." right, female, "...please."
