The man had returned, thoughts swirling with everything that should be there and everything that shouldn't, eyes scanning along through the forest floor and at eye level. He took in everything he could, trying to take his mind off the kiss and onto the present... Marking the borders...

So the man followed along the scent trails, placing piss markers on the places that needed them and slipping back behind the trees to become a ghost in the mists that hung low in the chill of day. They had overtaken the trunks today and through the haze the man saw a figure...

It was different than what he was used to seeing here in the lands. A hunched figure and he cocked his head to the side in silent question, an eyebrow raised as he slipped from behind a giants leg to approach the thing that had caught his attention.

As he came close the man stopped at the borders, a few feet away and his breath caught in his throat... Suddenly all thoughts of his predicament slipped away, washed from his brain like a wave on the shores taking a shell back to sea... A piece of beach glass scraping along rocks on the bottom of the sands... It was an ape of sorts...

Well damn...

Holding his breath he bowed his head to the creature, smiling warmly the entire time, his eye's closed with his bow and the man spoke softly, only one word escaping his maw in awe.

Wow... He said as he lowered his body slightly, a bow to match the one his head had shown... He wouldn't submit to this creature but he wanted them to know he appreciated them as a being, as a figure of power in this world, that he was certain the creature was superior...

But he was an Overseer and he wouldn't fully bow... So his action was only a half gesture, but enough to show the other respect, enough to show he meant no harm and that he certainly respected them.
