Tai, for his part, didn't pay much attention to Robert or what he was doing, certainly not enough to see him talking silently to a rock. His own attention was focused on their surroundings and making sure they weren't ambushed, and at the same time appreciating the natural beauty of Forever Fall.

His attention diverted by Robert's question, he looked over to his partner, crafting a response before he gave an answer. "I wanted to help people, to stand against the darkness so someone else wouldn't have to." It wasn't quite some traumatic backstory involving Grimm and slaughtered villages, but it was what made him him. "And yourself?"
