[Derek holds his position, hoping that whatever it is breaks cover soon. The thought that he had nothing on him but whatever fallen branches might be around comes to mind, and he feels just a twinge of unease. If it's an animal, then treeing himself would be a relatively decent short term fix, as long as it couldn't follow him up.
If it's another resident, then in theory, he should be able to show himself without repercussion. He'd read enough to know that altercations between the residents of Luceti were pretty rare, sans experiments or people that just didn't get along.
Still, caution dictated he go slow. He wasn't about to make a free target of himself. Making sure there was a climbable tree in reach, he peered, ever so carefully, out into the clearing toward where he thought whatever it was might be hiding.]
...If you're sentient, let me know. I'm just tracking a stag right now.
[There, short and to the point. If it were an animal, it would either freeze up, bolt, or attack. If it were another resident, they should at least answer him. In theory.]
