The hiker stared in some strange combination of wonder and bewilderment as Harris introduced himself. Harris would have raised an eyebrow had he any. He noticed the hiker's pinprick pupils and hyperventilation from a quick scan, concluding that he was on some form of drug, though he wasn't a chemist, so he couldn't exactly identify which one.

"My thanks," he offered in response to the man calling him "Breathtaking", he'd never actually seen himself before today, it wasn't as if he had a mirror handy, but the poacher's truck gave him that chance. He wouldn't call himself breathtaking, in fact he'd consider himself hideous, a monster even. He still was far from accepting this new body, and he doubted he'd ever truly be pleased with it. This man however, did see beauty in him, not that his statement was unbiased, what with his altered state.

"I presume you're here to enjoy the sights, but I'd prefer it if you could leave as soon as possible, this forest is a fragile area, and your presence may damage it," he stated, trying to avoid making an overt threat. "Human presence is not necessary or wanted here. I hope you understand."
