A little later~

It was the Isle, so of course no one would be too used to expecting to see a tree here, all of roughly almost seven feet or so tall, that was resplendent with a full top of bushy green leaves. Even less expected, surely, was that this tree wasn't something to be found, but a thing that found the someone. Its roots were shortish and relatively thick, and it had picked itself up off the ground to toddle around on them, carefully stepping over and on whatever was in its path as it wandered.

It slowed, not quite pausing as it came around the corner behind her, the sounds of its approach drowned out by her music. It set itself back down a yard or two behind her, just out of her immediate view.

Totally normal tree move, that. Just standing there, looking innocent.

It wasn't, of course. Well, it was normal for this tree, and it was probably innocent enough, what with being a literal tree and all. But it hadn't been standing there the whole time. Its trunk was oddly thick for as short as it was, looking more like a handful of trees that'd melded together than a single solitary base structure, and there were a few little glossy black gems or whatever those were here and there over those segments....

Totally normal. Yep. Nothing suspicious about this.
