Abtik couldn't remember the last time he'd slept so high up. He dreamed of falling at least once, and spent the rest of his sleep wondering why he couldn't satisfy his hunger even after seemingly stuffing himself - it was a miserable experience fueled by anxiety and the gnawing hunger pangs in his stomach. He adjusted himself slightly and cast a wary eye to the forest floor to regain his bearings. There was a thin coating of dew that cooled his heated skin, but he shook it away. As nice as it felt, the morning air was cold and he'd rather not risk getting sick.
His senses gradually expanded to the surrounding area, ears sensitive now to the soft breathing and rustling of his fellow apes, his one eye scanning the trees to get an idea of where each one was at. All were accounted for it seemed, and Abtik relaxed again into a meditative state before Joao approached.
A possibly dead ape? Abtik couldn't say he was surprised. They had no supplies to treat serious wounds, at least not now, and food would be scarce until they escaped the human sphere of influence. It could feed a single ape, but an entire troupe was out of the question. Abtik nodded his acknowledgement of Joao and followed the gesture to the slumped chimp. Not necessarily dead, but unnaturally still. Abtik looked thoughtful, grumbling something incoherent and signing "understood" to Joao. His throat was sore after all the talking.
He took a breath of fresh air to wake himself up and swung through the branches to the motionless ape, nudging with his knuckles just to be sure. A quiet exhale was all he got in return. This ape was still alive, but not for long.
They would bury the body far away when the chimp passed, and be on their way.
