Baylen found himself slowly moving down his porch steps until he came to stand right at the base of the steps. He certainly made no effort hiding himself, but he figured that there was no need for secrecy. A slight smile pricked at the corners of his mouth as he watched Vera interact with the lizard-man - lizard-[i]being[/i]? There would be a time for semantics later he reckoned.

He was nearly as overwhelmed as Vera was as he gazed across the street at the lizard-person. Suddenly, Baylen longed for a sketchpad or something to record this moment. If all went well, hoowever, there would be plenty of time to learn more and ask questions and record whatever information he wanted to. The lizard seemed to take everything in stride - even Amara's sudden flirting. Some sort of second hand embarrassment washed over him all of a sudden as he watched that exchange. He started to step forward to intervene when a voice called out to him, and he jumped slightly.

[color=82ca9d]"Ah, Ala-"[/color] he began, promptly cutting himself off as Alastair fired off questions at him. [color=82ca9d]"Well, I ... erm ... I don't suppose I have an answer for any of your questions."[/color] He looked back across the street at the anthropomorphic lizard. [color=82ca9d]"Though I believe it just arrived. I should think we would have heard about it had it shown up before."[/color] He paused and smiled to himself, slightly amused. [color=82ca9d]"Or perhaps it's very good at hiding."[/color] Baylen silenced himself as he watched the lizard respond and pull the small creatures out of his bag.

[color=82ca9d]"There's only one way of getting an answer, however."[/color] Finally, Baylen stepped forward and began to cross the street. As he walked over slowly, he waved a hand slightly and offered a smile. [color=82ca9d]"Hello there!"[/color] He stopped a few paces away. [color=82ca9d]"I'm Baylen - the town's doctor. It's a pleasure to ... uh ... to meet you."[/color] He looked curiously at the two critters. [color=82ca9d]"And those ... 'Varkann'?"[/color]
