The Dane squinted at that and leaned away as if there was ever a problem with personal space. Just the tone was a bit off-putting. However, he remained to give this stranger the light of day. “Like who exactly? I know a lot of people...”

Scaled feet dipped into the water and Gilbert gave a relieved sigh. It was always easy for him to get overheated while flying when the sun was out, and he had never been more grateful to have spotted a stream below in a forest glade. He had quickly landed and found a rock to settle on. After his feet were comfortably settled, he let his wings stretch out behind him. Sunlight glinted off the glossy black feathers and he took a moment to look them over before taking to brushing off any stray leaves or debris in them with a hand. So engaged was he with his task that it didn’t even occur to him that he had not properly checked the surrounding area for any threats. Perhaps the reason was an underlying self assurance that he could easily fly away if any trouble presented itself. Nonetheless, he was entirely at ease for the moment.

“True but the possibilities of the sea are endless, whether its depths or exploring... I just like it for what it is.”

The Dane was just outside on the dock, with the spring melt just itching closer he figured it’d be nice to sit there while there was still ice on top but the cracks forming along its surface were clear as day. At least until this creature showed up. For now, he stayed still, he was not the most magically inclined but he wasn’t stupid. “ What do you want from me?” 

      “I’m not human, actually.” Ivar lets his smile widen as he kneels still, glancing briefly to the forestry around them. His red eyes once again settled on Sverre’s face. “My eyes use to bring me all kinds of trouble years ago. More recently people seem to think they are coloured contacts. Well, I am wearing contacts, but they are prescription..” He blinks his eyes a few times at the mention of the clear lenses in his eyes.

      Before he can walk into the branch, he pauses in his step to look up from his phone that he had been looking at for one a second, he wears. “Oh- Hej, thanks.” He glances around to see just who warned him of the offending branch with a grin. “Ya save my beautiful face from doom.”

In complete honesty, Ethan was caught off guard when he heard the voice address him, or so he assumed as he had not seen any other people around ever since he entered the woods. Having somewhat lost track of time, he was worried maybe someone had followed him- wait, but that wouldn’t make sense, right? Why would they address him with such an odd remark if that was the case. It left more than just confused in the instance. Stopping in his tracks he glanced around, trying to spot whoever this voice belonged to- yet so far did not succeed in doing so. And after a moment, deciding on what to do he spoke up in response. ✯ “..Um- What do ya mean- what I need? Who- an’- where are you?”
