His ears twitched, his steps quiet as he walked along the familiar forest of Avidya. He watched along the trees swaying with the faint breeze making contact with his skin.

Tighnari let out a faint and subtle sigh. He’d been feeling lonely lately. More than the usual. Like he’s been craving another touch or affection. It was unusual. He dedicated his life to caring and learning about all kinds of plants and nature.

His tail brushed against the grassy ground. He tried to refocus his attention to the sounds of nature, yet his thoughts recoiled back to the need of affection. He has friends, yes. But it wasn’t the same. At least to him.

His steps came to a pause as his hands brushed against the leaf of a growing plant. Feeling the tips of the leaves between his gloves fingers.
