He grinned happily when she responded, nearly overjoyed by the positive reception to his company. He had guessed idly that she was an outlander, and her mannerisms and words further marked her as one (a willingness to learn about the local fauna wasn't something many needed here).

He gave me notes of all the Flora and Fauna in Caido, and I have since made a copy to ensure the information sets in my memory (and added in a few more notes of my own) - you're welcome to it, if you would like."
