The Forest

A forest of many diffrent types of trees, flowers, and animals.

*is lying on his big fluffy tail under a tree, sleeping*
*begins to stir in his sleep, starting to have nightmares*

*walks into the forest and sees yuu sleeping on the floor rolling around. walks over to him and starts shaking him*
"hay kid, wake up!"

*opens his eyes and sits up quickly, shaking lightly*
Ah, i-it was just another nightmare...
*sighs and hugs his tail, trying to calm himself*
*looks up at Jin*
Oh... hi Jii-chan.
I guess you're the one who woke me... thanks.

*looks to the side slightly*
"no problem"
*looks back at yuu and rubs his back*
"you ok?"

*nods*
Yeah, I'm fine.
*sighs*
I'm used to these nightmares as this point...

*sits down next to yuu*
"mind if i ask what it was about?"

*stars at the ground in front of him*
Just a memory of a guy I went out with before coming here...
*droops his ears*
Let's just say there's a good reason for why I don't like people who abuse animals...

*nods glumly*
"i understand, i'm sorry"
*pats the top of yuu's head softly*

*sighs*
For some reason I doubt you really do...
*smiles slightly*
That's really comforting by the way, the head patting.
I wouldn't have guessed you were this sympathetic.

"yeah most wouldn't think so"
*hears the last comment and looks to the side blushing slgihtly*
"i just don't like seeing kids sad is all"

*chuckles quietly*
I'm the same age as you, remember?
I'm not a kid.
*smiles*
But don't worry, I'm feeling quite a bit better.

*nods*
"good, now why were you sleeping on the forest floor?"

*shrugs*
I'm a squirrel, I'm used to sleeping like this.
and I don't have a dorm just yet... I forgot to have one assigned to me.

*sweat drops*
"you forgot?"
*shakes his head*
"you shouldn't be sleeping on the forest floor squirrel or not"

*frowns*
Well it doesn't matter, I don't have anywhere else to stay anyway.

"then get a dorm!"
*shakes his head*

*flattens his ears*
I requested one last night!
*pouts*
I haven't been told which one I'm in yet though!!

"good we will find that out soon then*
*makes a fist with determination in his eyes*

*blinks*
You're weird Jii-chan...

*looks at him with a rised brow confused*
"what makes you say that?"

*raises an eyebrow*
getting so determined just because I'm getting a dorm...?
Seems pretty weird to me.
*sighs*
But I don't really see the need for a dorm...
I almost always slept outside in my old home.

*smiles slightly*
"it's nice to have some place to go though, with out worries about doing something wrong or upsetting people. it's your own place. you don't HAVE to sleep outside you could sleep inside as well then"
*shakes his head*
"like when it's raining, as pretty as it is sleeping in it isn't that great"

I'm resourceful... I've come up with ways to hide from the rain before.
mostly hiding in sheds and things.... but that's only because he wouldn't let me back inside...

"yes but now you don't have to come up with ways you can just go in"
