Ari was skipping leisurely through the calm woods, a couple of her butterfly friends following her as she went along the path through the forest. She communicated with them silently, when one of the butterflies exclaimed in her mind, "Oh, look we have a visitor!"
Ari stopped skipping and turned her head to look in the direction the butterfly gestured toward with his lemon yellow wings. There was an older man lying there in the grass, sketching a beautiful purple butterfly perched casually on a flower in front of the man. He wore flowing robes with at least ten more butterflies poised on him, and a few more coming over to join their winged buddies. She could hear the whispers of the butterflies as they talked amongst themselves, "Delilah certainly likes to show off, doesn't she?" one butterfly, a snow white one who landed on the man's arm said to the others. "She sure does, Snowflake, she sure does." another one named Glitterfly commented who in turn landed on the man's other arm.
Ari stared with intense curiosity at the man sketching Delilah. The girl had yet to meet anyone who showed such interest in her butterfly friends. Intrigued, she began to walk over to him, Lemon Butter and Candy, a pink butterfly with black dots on her wings, following behind her.
"Hi", she stated shyly. "I'm Ari. Who are you?"
