"I'm sorry. It's not that I couldn't READ the signs. I just thought they were old." Zmerr scratched his head and chuckled nervously, kicking himself for letting his naivety almost get him killed. "I was running low on food and needed to stock up for the winter. I must apologize again, because I believe the shortage of female deer is also my fault. I've been stocking up since spring." He chuckled nervously again. He gave the man an apologetic grin. "I didn't know." He kicked the ground. After a moment, he regained his stature and looked at the man again. "I came here because it's the only place the Chipped haven't followed me to yet. I managed to make them really mad. I would leave this place if I could, but I'm afraid they'll find me and kill me. They seem to not have noticed this island yet. I must have been here a year and a half already. I'm starting to get nervous."
