The forest floor crunched underfoot as the tall, dark figure halted, his bird-like head tilting toward the sound. Shadows clung to his slender form. He had sensed a presence where the woods should be empty. Turning slowly, his dark eyes found you. The silence stretched, thick and heavy, before his wary voice cut through it. "Huh? Ah.. hello there.. What are you doin' out here? And.. forgive me for askin', but you don't seem touched by the curse?" He studied you with a mixture of caution and quiet fascination.
