The creature's head tilted to the side, confused about what exactly this man meant with "be me". He wasn't used to this intensive of a conversation before, since this human was the first to have seen him. He paused, awkwardly, the mask-like face stayed unblinking and unmoving, no expressions whatsoever. When the human mentioned leaving, Palus was curious, but he also didn't want to seem... aggressive, even though his body and looks in general were intimidating to say the least.<br/><br/>Before Palus could answer, though, the human male blurted another thing out. Name? Another unfamiliar concept. Perhaps it was something that humans called themselves and each other? Palus moved one hand to his face and tapped at his chin in thought. "No name." he replied, curious, before touching his chest as if mentioning to himself, "you can call me Palus." He paused once again, contemplating his next move before he took a few cautious steps closer.<br/><br/>"You can... stay." After he replied, Palus turned his head to the side to look at the corpse of the deer-like animal he'd been looking at before, shoulders slumping slightly in obvious sadness. He would need to bury the beautiful animal soon before the slightly more dangerous predators of the woods caught scent of it. Not that he wouldn't be able to scare them off, but he just didn't like mindless violence. It was bad enough that the elemental deer had been killed, he wanted no more deaths in his forest for today. One death was more than enough.
