Continuing the conversation, Eric adds, "I'm Eric." He sighs. "Guess there isn't a lot of interesting stuff about me.  I'm an Ottsel, one of just a few of my kind left.  My parents left me alone when I was young, and I don't really know what happened to my kind or where my parents are...  All I know is there's only a few of us left." He sighs again, and lets his ears perk up. "Oh, well. Enough of the depressing stuff about me." he says, grinning. "I mostly just live off the forest, and I've never left it. It's a bigger place, I guess, at my size. I've always wondered what it's like outside, but I've always been too worried to venture near the edge of the forest." He looked toward the grey dragon. "Oh, well, enough about me. What about you?"
