Said Seraas watched all of the movements from the young man behind keen eyes. To even his amazement, his host managed to pull a light chuckle from him. For a moment afterwards, he relished in the ease of the air around him, even with all that nervous energy. It had been so long since he'd been able to relax and talk with someone, the fact that it was a human only bothered him a bit. That didn't mean he'd trust him right away or anything...but he was his first solid lead in finding someone who has a healthy amount of respect for his kind, and the nature they protect.

He continues his thoughts while consuming the plate of tasty food in his hands, quietly holding it after he was finished. Now...how to explain the seriousness of the situation? 

"...Something has happened, but it has been a long time coming. Officially...I will be answering your prayers for a good harvest next year. I took your food and can help with that." A pause, waiting to see his reaction before getting a tad more serious. 

"I am on a bigger mission, though..." and he frowns a bit at this part, remembering the wish of his favorite elder. "Your kind has mostly forgotten us. The festivals aren't to celebrate an answered prayer...they're for your entertainment...a reason to make fanciful foods. The balance of nature is respected less. The shrines aren't taken care of, and less children are taught how to make the offering..." he trails off at the end for a bit and sighs, "I know...I've been looking, watching." 

And a pause as he remembered the stories he'd been told, and what he'd seen so far. Would this work? Could he really form a team with this human...and bring back the old ways? How did the others fair, he wondered.
