Melanie knows this is a dream, and that she's therefore safe to be around. But it might not be safe to be seen, not with ROMAC sending people after her in the waking world. It would be best, she decides, to try and just stay out of everyone's way.
She doesn't have that much experience climbing trees, but she's light and strong and not afraid of falling. Besides, she doesn't think anyone else will be inclined to take to the trees, which makes them that much safer. They're an avenue for birds and animals and her, not humans who might want to catch her.
That being said, it's hard to completely vanish when you're a pale, blonde child wearing pastel hues, and it's hard to hide from trafficked areas when they're everywhere. So she's settled for heading upwards, into branches so thin that even her weight is enough to make them bend. And there she perches, thirty feet above an observation deck, her arms wrapped around the trunk of a shaggy hemlock and her feet braced against its branches. It's a nice view from here, and she guesses most of the people on the observation deck will be looking out, not up.
