"What in the Seven Hells?" Kiht asks herself as she stares up into a tall tree.
The scent was obviously coming from the tree, but there was no letter anywhere near it. It -had- to be up in the canopy.
Kiht contemplated for a moment then smirked confidently as she came to understand why Saachi might have put the letter in the tree canopy.
Kiht crouched with her legs together and her knees bent. "Both legs must act as one, and focus." Kiht whispered to herself as she remembered Yvelont's (her mentor) training. Kiht focused every fiber of her being into this one task. She knew she couldn't jump into the tree canopy, but she could get a leaping start up before having to latch onto the trunk. She drew two hunting knives from her satchel and held one in each hand.
Kiht springs into the air; the combination of her training, and strong Miqo'te legs complimenting each other. She makes it quite a ways up the tree before stabbing knives into the trunk, and planting her feet on the rugged bark. Kiht manages to get a hold on the tree without sliding back down.
She climbed the rest of the way to the canopy. After retrieving the letter, Kiht climbed back down the tree a ways before letting go, and falling to the ground. Using her leg muscles to absorb the shock, and timing her reaction with them allowed her to land hard but gracefully on her feet.
It was time to head to the Carline Canopy and read her new letter.
Kiht hands in her letter to the inn receptionist. She grins widely for the first time in many Suns.
