You'd slept soundly through the entire afternoon and night, your eyes finally opening at about 8 AM the following morning. You're surprised you'd slept so long, but the mini watch in the pencil case was probably the right time. You guess that Naomi didn't want to wake you so she didn't move you from the pencil case. As you wipe the sleep from your eyes, you wonder where your friend is exactly. After rummaging through the pencil case to the edge, you peek out. Apparently this is Naomi's bedroom, by the look of it. You finally spot the girl at a desk, looking at something intently on the computer. She sin't aware of you since her eyes have been glued to the screen since you're awakening. You don't want to seem like you need everything one for you, so you strike off on your own to get to her. Calling out for a ride would have made you look pathetic, you decide. With one motion you slide down the side of the case and planet your feet on the desk. You're at the far left side of it, away from Naomi who is on the far right. A quick run would let you reach her in just a minute or so. After a few seconds before returning to full consciousness you run, feet almost sliding on the waxed wood surface. By the time you reach the girl, she's put her hand down on the lip of the desk, still watching the monitor intently. You hear her murmur in distress at something on it.
With no time to waste, you search for a means of getting Naomi's attention to you and not the screen. After all, she's supposed to be taking care of you, even if you don't want to be helped in every way. There's a lot of ways you could be potentially noticed, but which way would be safest? You need to rationalize, sleep's fog almost completely receded. You break off from your usual pace and shift to a trot, stopping at last in front of Naomi's cascading hair which ended at the desk's surface. That could be an entry point, you surmise. Climbing the hairs would be no different than climbing a vine at your stature. There was also the choice of making contact with the girl's hand which is to the side of you, motionless. A third option of yelling was rejected, as she wouldn't hear you. But possibly... Naomi is far too engrossed with the computer. Lastly an option of jumping to Naomi's waist to start a climb presents itself.
