The man certainly knew how to make an entrance. Tal flinched and whipped his head around, tense as a wire. Seeing an Ancient - albeit a strange one - he relaxed however, his hand falling away from his Dagger as his face went through some interesting contortions. His instinctive scowl at being laughed at - or at least, that was how he usually interpreted things - fought against his attempts at better manners and ended in an expression of mild constipation as he cleared his throat self-consciously. His dragon chortled helpfully as she flapped her way to a heavy landing on the bank of the stream and batted a charred twig into the water with her talons.
"Uh... well... I'm glad... y'had a good time...?" He struggled to reply in the face of being called 'entertaining,' clearly uncertain of it was a compliment or an insult, and the look he gave the stranger reflected his inner conflict. Still, with the Tangleweed defeated he relaxed enough to start stripping off his gauntlets, grasping desperately after what passed for polite small talk between strangers. "So... uh. D'you live around here, then?"
