The trek through the Forrest had thus far proven to be a rather uneventful one for Eldan. There wasn’t even much in terms of potential hunting targets for if he wanted some extra meat to take back to his cabin, but then his other side probably didn’t need the added distraction of a tempting chase to derail his current objective. The man did take note, however, on how beautiful this part of the Forrest had appeared compared to the rest of the surrounding land. In his travels, however, the swordsman had often found that such beauty was as often an ominous omen then it was something to behold while out in the open.<br/><br/>It was with this in mind that the male had kept his guard up during his continued walk in search of some good firewood. Of course, it was never truly possible for one to be totally prepared for whatever life would throw their way. Today would prove to be no exception to this rule, as the trekking warrior was soon put on guard by the sudden appearance of a small figure floating before his eyes. “What in the-“ The man started to sputter as he took a defensive step back from the fairy, before collecting himself and simply gazing upon the unexpected sight with widened, blinking eyes.<br/><br/>“A fairy?” The warrior uttered to himself in surprise more so than to address Kassie’s presence, as it took him a few seconds before her sudden string of questions would begin to actually register with the male. “This is the type of thing the people in the village are afraid of disturbing?” He considered with a raised eyebrow and a tilt of his head, before finally starting to address some of what she said, “The name’s Eldan, little one. I just moved into a cabin near here.”<br/><br/>There was reluctance to answer her last question, as the man was no stranger to tales of how tricky a fairy can be and murmurs of the type of magic some of them might possess. Last thing the man needed was to find himself with an enlarged nose or something equally silly for this fairy’s amusement.  She was a rather pretty thing - the man had to admit - as a part of himself lamented how none of the maidens back in the village were near her beauty. His eyes did glance about a bit, however, as he considered the possibility of others being about, as he admitted, “And I’m rather weary on the type of magic you might want to show me. So, if you don’t mind? I think I’d rather just go about collecting some firewood from a tree near here and be on my way.”<br/><br/>The man would then give a light brush of his hand to ‘swipe’ in her direction, albeit without the real effort to attempt in striking the small fairy. More so it was an attempt to shoo her away as he stepped past her when she did move and continued on toward the direction she had originally come from; doing so largely in an attempt at putting some distance between the two of them. The swordsman wasn’t much for wasting time on games, as he continued onward while keeping a watchful eye for the fairy he attempted to shoo away, along with any surprises this Forrest might be hiding.
