Sitting in a tree

[Cloud Strife]

Cloud jumped in a tree. Wind blow his light blond hair around. He smiled to himself. The boton of his shirt swayed with the wind. It hug to his feet. His hand was on his sword.

He blue eye looked around. He sat himself and leand on the tree.He placed his hands behind his head.

"What a grate day to hang out."

He said shutting his eyes. He let the wind blow his hiar around. He then pulled out his sword and set it to his sit. He closed his eyes and place his hands behind his head.

White and light gray clouds lovingly danced overhead, and wildly shadowed the world of Earth below them. The clouds above the Dark Forest appeared to be in an active mood. If they had moods, feelings, emotions, or if they were organic, anyway. Too bad they weren't; the chilling water droplets would probably have enjoyed themselves as they remained sustained in the air, intensifying those below.

Rain was beautiful, and carried the wills of the planet. H₂O was quite a helpful compound, and was usually nearby. After all, most of their planet was made of it, and most organisms held liquids in high supply, as well. Then, there was also the near-air feel and texture of water when it was at your current location's temperature. It's so... fascinating, decided Mia admiringly. Rain was one of the most glorious things of living, was something else she thought.

Of course, water combined with the other elements, could produce much greater strength, and they could make it become much less lament than simply lying in a lake or puddle. Earth was as dormant as water when unaffected. Earthquakes were, after all, caused by shifted magma altering it with heat and giving it energy. As earth and water were similar, air and flame were, as well. The raw and simple materials were always good, but combinations were wonderful! All the things that could and were done with them...

Mia shifted out of her thoughts in the not so desolate forest she had entered earlier. The girl was silently sitting on a high branch of strong, lively tree, and had been easily swept into her plentiful thoughts. Of course, she intended to return to the ground and possibly to the town as soon as the liquid heavied and made its descent.

Yet, it was to seem that she would have some company before heading into the city; she heard some footsteps, and curiously glanced downward. Pale blond strands of hair were gently drifting through the air, though remaining attached to their origin. The figure's hands quietly placed themselves behind his head, and a few words were said. Of which, Mia heard by straining her ears. "What a great day to hang out." Now, wasn't that an interesting statement. Was he waiting for someone, or was it just a random thought?

Soon, long, red hair gracefully dripped over the branch as she leaned to its edge; she was curious to what this guy was talking about. Very, very curious. Could she not contain herself? Though, it wasn't as if she had anything better to do, anyway, so she wasn't exactly wasting her time.

Hastily, a large gust joined the smaller ones, and altered Mia's tipped balance along the branch. She was falling forward, and she was going to go with momentum; still, it wasn't her intention to surrender that easily. Anyway, falling on the ground wasn't something that was usually fun. The girl's arms grasped and tightened their hold on the branch as much as they could. Thus, Mia was only falling over part of the way. Ah, well. I won't be able to hold this position, so why resist rather than manipulating the flow?

Of course, she would be agreeing in a different way than what was first chosen by the wind and her position. Her red hair swooped about her as she swung indelicately to a lower branch. She gave a relaxed sigh as her feet met the wood, and the branch didn't wobble too greatly. That part was good, at least. Hopefully, she wouldn't end up on the ground sooner than she intended with her face in the dirt.

Then, there was the person below. Chances were that he had heard her little scamper, so why not start a conversation? Rain had yet to arrive, anyhow. Her soft voice came out playfully, as she liked her fun. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

[Cloud Strife]

"That i am." he said looking up. He jumped in the tree she was in. The wind blow his hair around. He smiled and leand on the tree. He closed his eye and crosed his arms.
"My name is Cloud." he said with his eye stil closed.

His shirt still moved in the wind."Did you have fun falling out of this tree." he said smiling then opened his blue eye.

"That I am," said the person below. He peered up at her, and didn't waste much time before jumping upward into another branch on Mia's level. A little surprised, she tightened her muscles and balanced the slightly swaying motion of that grouping of branches.

Apparently, he was quite athletic. Mia was more energetic than some, but she couldn't do that; it took her a little effort usually involving her running, or gripping something and pulling herself up. After all, what fun would there be if everything came so easily in life? She enjoyed the small challenges of daily life. Well, some people may not have considered climbing into trees a part of every day life, but she did.

Mia loved the height she gained of being in the trees. The gentle change of scenery and viewpoints was pretty fun, in her opinion. The slow but firm growth of the trees were so powerful, so willing. She enjoyed actually coinciding with the strong organism, and sensing the life beneath the roughened bark. The steady flow of liquids moved below the hard flesh, flooding and filling the entire tree with its form of blood.

Wildly, another gust of wind came forth, but Mia straightened her 5' 5" self and kept one of her palms against the sturdy organism she was standing on. Her long, flaming red hair blew over her slender shoulders, and her free hand quickly came and held the more rabid ones near their roots so they'd come into her face less. Wind was an energy and skill of the element air, and was most effective when used to manipulate the elements with less energy and fluctuation; air could move earth and liquid. It could also conspire with fire to increase it's might. Of course, it seemed the male would just "play it cool," and act pretty oddly.

He smiled and leaned against the tree's trunk, not seeming to really admire the wood's vibrations of life force. Next, he calmly closed his eye, and proceeded to fold his arms. "My name is Cloud." Another slightly more leisurely gust came. "Did you have fun falling out of this tree." Perhaps anticipating her response, he smiled and opened his eye once more to reveal the blue hidden beneath.

I guess that means he noticed, thought Mia sarcastically to herself as her cheeks pinkened marginally. If he wanted her reply, it would seem that he was most certainly going to get one. Saying that to her, he would expect a response. Though, she pondered whether his statement was some kind of payback for her previous one. After all, most of the words were the same.

"I didn't fall out of the tree! As you should be able to see, I'm still here." Mia doubted he was blind, but she still would prefer not to be rude. Not that that mattered, anyway; he would get his show. "I just... had to re-stabilize my balance, that's all." What she had said was true... sort of. Well, on her point of view, anyway; she hadn't literally fallen out of the tree, only part of the way because she had managed to catch herself.
