The enormous Kuhna was not here on business. He was not here to meet anyone. He was not here to find anything. Except maybe peace. Quiet, even.
Lately, his peace had been smashed into little bitty pieces by the media; the discovery of the Hunters had done it since he had been in the discovering party; had fought against the Hunters, and was currently living in a dwelling with two of them, one of whom was a trusted captain of the Leader of the Hunters.
All in all, it made for some pretty crappy alone time.
So he had come here, to Nu'san, to get away from it all. To get away from the girls, the boys, the little kits who looked up to him as an idol, and the people who looked upon him as a monster for his appearance.
Frankly, this was the best place he had been to in ages. It had no hidden secrets about it as far as he was concerned, it wasn't cold (though his longer fur could handle it well if needed), it wasn't harsh, and above all, it wasn't unfriendly. (Of course, it wasn't
too friendly either.)
The monks carefully held their opinions to themselves and treated him with just the proper amount of respect-- the respect they would pay to, say, any other Common Kuhna (though they couldn't help just a bit more than that). It was relaxing and invigorating at the same time, being able to do things for himself and to be able to explore without pressure or tension.
Which was what his time was occupied with at the current moment; the jungles just beyond the temple were simply perfect for a twilight trek to release the last of his energy before he slipped off to his room in the travelers' quarters.
He padded quietly despite his size and claws, pointed ears listening innocently around for the slightest sound without being cautious to the point of being untrusting. The slight noise he himself made startled a bird, sitting in her nest and about to sleep, into flight. His eyes followed her until she passed behind a tree and out of his view.
Surely something a bit more interesting than that lurked in these trees.
Perhaps a feral pet. Like a pack of Tali. Or maybe even simply an Organic Polly.
Time would only tell what would interrupt his peace. Something was sure to.
