He’s not quite certain what had compelled him to extend the offer to her, though it does cause him to pause and wonder why it had not occurred to him to do the same for others. It is a simple enough task for him, his abilities having grown by leaps and bounds during the last year of his life. And when she accepts, it takes him only moments to find the tethers of her vision, to twist and shape them into already familiar paths. A grin stretches across his lips as he witnesses her sight shift, the trees thrown abruptly into sharp relief.
As he releases his hold on her sight, he tilts his head slightly, peering at her with open interest. If anything, her assertions that she had met a few who were decidedly not boring only served to further entrench his beliefs. He nods slowly as she glosses over the details of what encounters she’d had, though that hardly mattered. Details are easy enough when the echoes of her memories riddle the ether around her.
“I think they want something,” he replies slowly, his brow furrowing, expression growing thoughtful. “But I can’t figure out what. They’re… strange.”
The understatement of the year, if ever there was one.
His lips purse as she exclaims her disbelief. Of course, from her perspective, they were probably the furthest thing from boring, though it takes him a moment to recognize that. When he does, his consternation morphs into an abrupt laugh as he shifts to toss his head, indicating the deeper reaches of the forest (though in truth it’s not just the forest - it’s all the dark and rarely trodden portions of this continent). “Have you ever seen them when they think no one is around?” he questions, gaze returning to her. “They just… shuffle about.”
