Hayim inched closer to the creature whenever he could do so subtly, doing his best to get in close enough to touch and cure the beast. It was more of an instinctual thing than a conscious decision on his own part - after all, it was in his nature to care for those who are mutilated and disfigured. It seemed that the mere inkling that it [i]might[/i] be twisted was now more of a certainty. Not based on truth, but on a mere childish confidence that the naive and ignorant held. Hayim nearly managed to pat the creature before it unrolled the large scroll it carried, briefly covering one of the seedlings by Hayim's side.

Pausing, Hayim instantly forgot about the creature's peculiarities - distracted by the frowning face of the god of knowledge. The level of artistic talent was akin to what a human child or Hayim himself could replicate given effort, and this had a great effect in distracting the god - the use of drawings rather than words had definitely been a wise decision. As he read the scroll, a horrible realization dawned on Hayim.

The god was cut off by the sound of a person landing, causing him to spring to the nearest tree trunk in surprise. The seedlings, mimicking their creator, followed in a far slower, almost mechanical imitation. Luckily, a quick investigation revealed that the culprit responsible for the sound was none other than Dirka!

Springing onto the sorceress' leg, Hayim immediately attempted to heal the god, seemingly uncaring that the fall had not even bruised her.

[color=a36209]"Yay! Dirka! Hayim go visit Iva by flying with Animal... No, with Bird-friend! Dirka come to! She help cheer up Iva and we all can play together!"[/color]

Detaching himself, Hayim quickly dragged the scroll over to the god's feet, before making his way towards the 'bird.' It appeared like the idea of healing the beast had left Hayim's mind, at least while the prospect of Iva being upset was an urgent threat.
