With ease Olafur swung down off of Odysseus' back and ambled towards the woman. He paused beside her, large yellow eyes briefly seeking out her gaze before darting to the brambles. His brow scrunched in thought and he reached up to pluck at one hesitantly before gripping it in both hands and attempting to twist it hard enough to break it. He couldn't quite do it and after a few moments of struggling with it the macaque stretched up on his toes, took the bramble between his teeth and bite it in two. His nose wrinkled at the taste. "The big ones are all yours, Odysseus."
With a crooked smile Odysseus stepped towards the woman. With Olafur on the woman's right the brute decided to take up position on her left. Seeking her gaze, he asked, "So tell me, how did you get so tangled?" To emphasis his question he tugged on one of the brambles. "How'd you do this?" Up close he could see that untangling her would be next to impossible. It would be much faster to do as Olafur had done and simply break the tendrils. With that in mind he snapped the bramble in his jaws and quickly picked up another to do the same.
"ODYSSEUS" / "OLAFUR"
Odysseus has a male rhesus macaque companion named Olafur. Unless he's mentioned IC it's safe to assume he's not with Odysseus.
