...Really bright colors?

[Were this anyone else in any situation, he'd find this amount of information unimpressive and useless. However, that's neither here nor there so he puts on a contemplative face, the crook of his finger at his chin as he pretends to ponder.]

Given that no humans should be here, he should stand out regardless. [A thought then occurs to him and murmurs under his breath, "I wonder if it would work..." and he looks toward the butterflies.] ...Hey.

[The butterflies respond! They flutter about merrily around his face, one landing on his ear again. Glancing up at it he tries the idea that had come to mind.]

Go through the forest; see if you can find another human. [Very small pause.] And...ask the others if they have noticed anything as well.

[If he had dogs he knows for sure he would be able to communicate with them, but alas he was not blessed with such companions and only the butterflies for now. But perhaps this role is able to extend his abilities; at least they seem to understand, one even seeming to salute with its wing before they scatter off, leaving only a few behind to flutter around them.]

That should help with the search while we continue. [He starts off with his usual matter-of-fact speaking, but then he remembers ah yes. He has to pretend to be a curious elf boy who has met a pretty girl and probably fell in love at first sight.

...Troublesome...

Anyway, he clears his throat. At least his own awkwardness matches (unless this Tam Lin guy is supposed to be some suave playboy—oh well).]


I could...also show you around the forest if you're interested.

[Lame pick-up line achieved.]
