The girls remained silent throughout his speech, simply looking at him with those other-worldly eyes. He wondered if they had even understood anything he had said. It was possible these children knew nothing of the human tongue, and simply moved on through this world not comprehending anything that was spoken to them.<br/><br/>Something like that would prove troublesome for him, as he had taken up man's speech long ago and had grown accustomed to the complex language. He had much to speak with them about, but he could only stand there as the girls looked like they were discussing something among themselves, yet their mouths never moved, and no sound came out. He nearly opened his mouth to speak again, then they began to approach him, the lighter one leading the darker closer, stopping before him.<br/><br/>He looked down at them, his head cocked slightly to the side in curiosity. Then she began to reach her hand towards him. Centuries of instinct suddenly screamed at him to back away, that letting anyone this close could easily mean death. He kept himself still however, his curiosity outweighing his instincts. His only movement was to open a single eye ever so slightly, watching her hand slowly move up and rest on his temple<br/><br/>Then it felt like a warmth rested upon his mind, as if the light of a summer sun was now falling upon his consciousness. Then a soft voice seemed to echo through his mind, clear and calm. Both his eyes opened slightly now, his grin getting wider. "Splendid." he spoke aloud, eyes glimmering in the blue light from the jewel on her forehead.<br/><br/>He decided that speaking in the same manner as her might prove interesting, and so he thought to her, "Yes, I can. I have to say, this is quite fascinating, I have never experienced a thing such as this." letting his eyes close again he took the opportunity to ask another question. "If I may ask, what are you two? All I know for sure is that you are not of this world." Anyone who looked at them could have determined that much, meaning he knew nothing about them, and he did not enjoy being ignorant.
