Hey! Give that Back!

A chill wind blew from Auster and swept unseasonably over the archipelago. This summer morning was crisp and chilly, perhaps it was an omen or simply an errant ethereal wind spirit on some mischief.

A young woman stretched her long limber legs and gave the morning a wide yawn. She nosed over her herbal finds from yesterday and noticed an important item missing. She had found a beautiful tuber of turmeric and it was nowhere to be found! Maybe she kicked it away in her sleep? She looked around and found strange tracks leading up to her open cache beside her, then away to a tree...

Her curious amethyst gaze ambled up into the canopy and was met with wide round eyes from a strange creature with long limbs and grasping paws. In one of those grasping paws was the bright orange tuber of turmeric.

"Oh! Thank you for finding it!" She smiled and lifted her forelimbs to rest on the tree getting herself higher. "You can just drop it he-" Instead of dropping its prize it leaped quickly to another tree. "Hey! Give it back!" Morwenna quickly pushed aside any pleasantries and went to follow the creature.

It dropped to the ground a ways away and watched her curiously. She tried following it again,
"Well then, that was fun can I have it bac-" It let out a very odd multi-decibel cry, lifted its very long arms and taunted her before ambling further to a palm tree and clambering up!

Morwenna growled and chased after it, missing the border scent markers of a treacherous village she was yet to be acquainted with, "Give that back you monster!" She yowled, loping after what she would soon know to be a lemur bouncing from tree to tree.
