Sprinklestar frowned as Kiri mentioned taking it as a hunting trophy - it could be friendly, or have it's own brand of wisdom!  The elf was curious and wanted to talk to it, truthfully.  At least the human had a sense of humor.  "Tucan Dodo" - The explorer couldn't help but let out a small giggle as she heard that.

The captain proceeded to say no one else would do the talking - the elf let out a small pout.  Wasn't her title to be called friendmaker?  Sprinklestar was about to protest, but went silent as she didn't want to risk causing another calamity.  As the captain suggested making sure the bird didn't stop them the elf blinked a couple of times.

A second later a string of excited words left her mouth.  [color=pink]"Do you want me to talk to it?  I can talk to it!  Maybe it can tell us what is around!"[/color]  The elf then remembered she needed to be more 'repectful'.  The elf's natural excitement died off.  [color=pink]"Uhm ... Captian.  B-But it seemed to be unintelligent so does that mean I should speak to it?  I'd hate to see it hurt ..."[/color]
