Toby, frowned. He saw the little human like creature and he was on his guard because, in his mind it could definatly be some kind of Faerie. Then he heard it speak and the language seemed a tiny bit familiar. He'd have to pay more attention when the being spoke. On the plus side, through it's gestures, it seemed to be welcoming them into it's home.<br/>
<br/>
Clara (<a class="username" data-user-id="2453" data-username="@Zulma" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2453/">@Zulma</a>) was asking Toby if he was alright. One day he'd tell her the tall tale about his 'alien implant'. "I could be better," he responded. "Nothing like thirty-odd years of soft civilian life to wear on a man. Of course, not dodging bullets coming your way would be wearing, too."<br/>
<br/>
Catching his breath, he went on. "So, if I'm right about this being Faerie and judging by the gestures of this native, then we should be okay if we go in. If they follow 'rules of hospitality', then they can't harm a guest unless we make an extreme breach of protocol, like theft or violence. By accepting their hospitality, imagine that we get home to our Earth, then if they show up on our doorstep we're honor bound to host them. We should be safe, for now."<br/>
<br/>
"On another note," he shared with the forty-ish woman, "the language seems somehow familiar, not 'pig-latin', but it doesn't seem totally strange to me."<br/>
<br/>
Toby motioned with an arm for Clara to precede him into the tree and said, "Ladies first." Then he followed her into their host's home.<br/>

Cassie (<a class="username" data-user-id="6169" data-username="@Purplefairydust" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6169/">@Purplefairydust</a>) and Josey (<a class="username" data-user-id="5865" data-username="@Josey" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5865/">@Josey</a>) were entranced by the sight of the food that their host had set before them. Toby hoped that everything wasn't too good to be true.</span>
