Yet another several weeks later, abundant with strange encounters, Genesis had matured significantly since then. Having found itself in the bamboo forest, however, it found itself back where it had been before - in a place, where things, being as strange and new as they were, had to be learned yet again. The flora and fauna were much different than that by the Jasumin Lake, yet many of the characteristics it found similar. Above all, it recognised that stuff eats stuff here as well, and that it had to stay attentive for any threats.
Then, an anomaly of sorts had caught its attention. A lizard which carried itself like a man, and even speaking the man's tongue had shown up. The past experiences Genesis had with many different humanoids - some kind and looking forward to helping it, others greedy and willing to use and abuse it - had taught it that the words the stranger spoke, along with the intonation he used, suggested that he is most likely calling for someone or something. The aberration, having weighed the pros and cons of contacting the stranger, had ultimately decided to make its presence known.
Having peeked from above the bamboo forest's thick, tall underbrush, it had shot a jolt of psionic energy towards the stranger, in an attempt to communicate with him.
"Wherever you are, come out" - the snake-man could hear in his head. The voice, although distorted and therefore sounding much unlike that of his own, had faithfully replicated the intonation of his words he uttered only a moment earlier. The alien then ducked into the underbrush, before finding itself a vantage point it had considered safe, behind a particularly large bamboo plant nearby. Thin as it was, it could possibly escape the stranger's gaze back there, while still being able to observe its reaction. But in these lands, little could be sure.
