Barihn was wandering through Tale, a bit restless as usual. The forests were a bit quiet so he had some time to consider his next course of action, or at least he had thought he would. Wandering about with his thoughts he hadn't expected to really bump into anyone, but of course things never went as planned. Absently considering his options he didn't notice the trap even as it snatched up his foot and tugged him up into the tree. He hung there upside down, frown coming over his features as he looked around from this new angle. Ah - this new angle had some possibilities. Before long though he heard footsteps approaching, and was curious if the person would help or admire him hanging instead. "Heeeeeey, wanna heeeelp?" he drawled, yawning as he tried to swing himself back and forth a bit.

(1/10) Eujanie really wasn't the biggest fan of traps, even if they were useful. She'd learned as a kid that she really wasn't built to be a trapper - her father had scolded her once, when she was young, for forgetting about a trap, only to find a poscuta starving in it a week later. The little thing had been fed and released, out of pity, and Uzumati had impressed upon her the importance of respect to those they hunted. She was awful at a bow though, so traps really were unavoidable if she wanted actual meat, and not fish or to rely on her dad for food.
So, a snare was set, and Eujanie hunkered down to wait. There were a family of aldabuck nearby that she hoped to catch one of - at least, until she heard the trap go off with a telltale crash.
The lack of frantic bleating told her immediately that she hadn't succeeded. However - as she got up and crunched her way through the grasses, closer to the trap, she paused when she heard a voice call out. A person?!
Eujanie hurried, but stopped at the base of it, hands on her hips. The boy's face was at the same level (maybe a bit higher) than her own, but upside down. "What kinda earthling falls into a trap like that?" She blurted out, grinning as she circled the poor boy, laughing. "You know this trap is for beasties, right? How did you miss it!"

"Trap for beasties? Hadn't gathered that," he shrugged, swinging himself back and forth a little more as she circled him. The blood rushing to his head was an interesting experience that made his ears twitch, but other than that he could take a nap here. Or maybe practice some upside down aiming at targets. He could convince the girl to move a target into his view, but he thought maybe the trap in question was hers. "I was thinking. And got distracted with the thinking. Before I knew it the trap had snatched me up and given me a new perspective on the path ahead. I'm Barihn, by the way," he continued his ramblings, holding out his hand in an attempt to shake.

(2/10) For someone caught up in a trap upside down, he didn't seem too bothered by it. Eujanie stopped her circling, arms crossed, and listened to his story, grin broadening the longer he told it. "Ah yeah. Distracted with the thinking, I get that."
She didn't. Then again, Eujanie was more a 'doer' than a 'thinker' most of the time. "Hope I'd be as content to be 'snatched up' as you are. I'm Eu-Ja-Nie!" She enunciated each syllable with a boisterous handshake, then trailed her eyes along the rope, thoughtful.
"I'm gonna have to cut you down - got anything sharp on ya? Might wanna let me set it aside before I do so you don't stab yourself when you land."

Barihn made a little 'hm' noise, grabbing at his back where his bow and arrows were secured. He was glad for the snap fastening his arrows in place so they hadn't scattered when he was tugged up. They'd maybe be fine if he fell. Probably. But he didn't really want to chance it. "Here, here. My things. Don't wanna break my bow," he explained, holding them out in front of him. "Making a new one would take waaaaaaay too much time." Not that he was really busy with anything else, but he would prefer not to take even more time than he had to.

(3/10) This guy was so amusing! Eujanie was just glad he wasn't angry about the trap - though, maybe he WOULD get angry when he was cut down? He could be on his best behavior so that she'd help him.
She took the offered weapons, taking a moment to look at them with shameless curiosity before setting them aside, well out of the way. Thankfully, the ground of Tale was feathery and there weren't any crystals here to hit him - so she pulled out her knife and moved to the rope, looking back at him as she prepared to cut it. "Okay! Here we go - probably wanna tuck your arms in, don't wanna break your wrist! Cutting... now!"

In an attempt to make himself take as little damage from the fall as he could, Barihn just made himself go limp. With the cutting down the leafling looked more like a sort of limp fish than anything else, unceremoniously bouncing onto the ground and rolling back out into a sprawl on his back. A soft sigh spilled from him as he stared up at the sky and the girl, perfectly content to simply lay on the ground a moment. "Thaaaaanks. Was starting to lose feeling a bit," Barihn grinned, holding out a hand to the girl. "So Eujanie, you from around here, hm? Or like trapping cute boys in things." He did wonder how long he had been up in the trap for, but that was minor compared to learning about this new friend.

(4/10) It was pretty smart to go limp when he fell, so he didn't hurt himself; but it was still really off putting to see an earthling fall and land without so much as a grunt or yell. For a moment she stood, knife still held aloft as she watched him, snickering, but finally she sheathed the blade and moved to crouch down beside him, poking in an overly friendly manner at his head. " Obviously, if I'm settin' traps!" She teased, face crinkled up in amusement. " And sure - but only the really, really cute ones. You didn't hit yourself comin' down, did ya?"

Barihn stretched out as she poked him, grinning up at Eujanie and sticking his tongue out slightly. "Naaaaah all fine here. Easy enough to manage the fall if you know how to fall," he explained as if it was the most obvious of answers. He always liked the ground in Tale since it was familiar, comfortable ground. Though sometimes he worried he was drawing too close to the village by chancing it. "I'm honored to be a really cute one then," he nodded, reaching up to tap her on the nose. "My bow? Is it okaaay?" There were few things Barihn paid much attention to, but his bow was one of them.
