-moves her eyes between her ears and grins- these long ears better be good for something than getting caught in my hair!

Come on!

-she grins at her small friend and dashes further into the Arlathan Forest-

-she presses her lips together and a small, embarrassed smile emerges- well… -she does a quick shake and a clanking ensues, her face now a bright red-

Are you enjoying your new found words? And uh… hisses?

Oh! -she chuckles softly with a small smile- of course.. right right.. yes! Oh that would be so cool to learn from you guys! I could probably learn a thing or two about being uhh… quiet too. -her soft chuckle turns a bit louder at the comment-

What’s this?! -she exclaims and takes the truffle from Gus- ohhhh! You like truffles? I think I know a good spot… I have a Griffon friend who loves digging these up!

-she narrows her eyes and tilts her head to the side as she looks over the crumpled note, turning her lips inward in concentration- Hmm.. can you give me like.. some sort of context on what it could be related to? It might help me put it together. It’s old, for sure. -she nodded, eyes unmoving-

-Chuckles and jumps to her feet, ready to help the Nug on his grand adventure- Alright! Off we go! You're gonna have to lead the way though..

Neve! Me? Oh right, yes yes, sure! I mean. -clears throat- ...How may I be of assistance?

-scratches the back of her neck and smiles- I.. I’m not sure I’d be very good at it.. me liking bright things and.. daylight and all.

Oh nooo! Now we can’t let that be, can we? Why don’t we go on a hunt, hmm? Can you show me which is your favorite?

Did you get trapped in the Fade?

-She begins to laugh as dirt kicks up under the nug as he wiggles around for attention- Tell me, Gus, have they been feeding you well around here? Or do we need to investigate some food for you?

-slowly smiles- Ooo.. well thank you for the bottle. -Gracefully picks it back up, tipping it towards him- Do you want to.. uh.. maybe share the bottle? Maybe we could even do some.. -eyes narrow- sleuthing, yeah? I'm nothing like Neve but.. I'm learning!

Oh uh.. -sheepishly moves bottle behind her back- that was.. uh.. your cellar? -clears throat- I'll just.. leave this here then.. - slowly sets down bottle-

-sits on the ground and moves to full body scritches- My goodness, you'd think you neeeever got any love, huh?

-chuckles- Yes! Its nice to meet... you.. me?

Oh! Well hello! -leans over to lightly scratch behind his ears- How's the cutest little Veil Jumper around?

Oh goodness! Hi! Hello! Honestly.. everything is so weird anymore, I can't even say I'm surprised.
