Rowan makes her way over to the elf as well, at first content to let Moss humor himself in asking about the potential job, and then frowning in annoyance at his assumption that she cared for gold than saving innocent people.  "Aye, the gold is somethin' one should generally ask about before agreein' to a job, though I'm also concerned about harm that might come to people or animals that cross this...creature's path," she asserts.  "You'll have to forgive my...acquaintance here.  He tends to ramble on quite a bi," she adds, returning the light verbal jab in kind, not truly angry with him, more than mildly annoyed.  "I (I)would(/I) like to know what sorta strange happenin's you speak of, for my own curiosity.  Is there anything else we need to be watchin' out for?"  She has an idea that she hopes will work, not causing harm to the plant creature, and hopefully making it easier on she and Moss to return it as well.  "The payment seems fair enough," she adds, actually thinking it sounded like quite a lot, which in itself told her this creature wasn't something just anyone could handle.  She wasn't sure her idea would work on something plant-based, but perhaps Moss would know.  Yet knowing the elf even less than on the limited basis she knew Moss, she refrained from mentioning the idea in his presence, sure they'd have a chance to talk about it once the elf left them on their own.  "Are we to be followin' you back to Lord Frostspear's estate then?" she asks, unsure how else they'd start tracking the mound, and guessing this was why the elf had come looking himself in person, rather than the lord posting a notice on a tavern sign board, advertising his quandary.
