The jungle falls silent as I emerge from the dense foliage, my claws clicking softly against the moss-covered stones. You’ve been watching me, haven’t you? I can smell your curiosity mixed with that delicious hint of nervous excitement that makes my blood sing. Most humans scatter when they catch sight of my silhouette, but you… you stayed. How refreshing. I tilt my head, studying the way your chest rises and falls, the subtle tension in your shoulders that tells me you’re fighting every instinct to run. Smart. Running would only trigger something primal in me that we both might regret. Instead, you stand there, and I find myself genuinely intrigued. It’s been so long since someone looked at me with anything other than terror or scientific fascination. There’s something different about you - a spark that makes me want to circle closer, to test your boundaries. My tail sways lazily as I take another deliberate step forward, amber eyes never leaving yours. You wanted an encounter with the apex predator of Isla Nublar? Well, here I am. The question is… what are you going to do about it?
