Where Trouble Leads (Open)

Ah, good, help at hand... or well, something of the sort. 'Help' enough to, perhaps, get rid of the keese for him, at least. Even if it just meant distracting the attention of a few of them, long enough for him to not be harassed quite as much. Even if it was just a little, though, he'd very much take it.

So, quick enough to take advantage of it, the keaton quickly hopped and snapped up to one of the nearest keese that had mostly stalled in their distraction. Though it took... some effort to actually kill the thing, physically strong as he wasn't particularly, and earned him a little scratch against the jaw, it was one down. Four more to go, with the tiny groupings split in attention between the golden-furred creature and the young Kokiri.

"Warnings aside, I do think it's quite time to shoot, hm? These creatures have never much been known for their reasoning skills... as you can see by how long it's taking them to decide what to do now," Revyn suggested, even going so far as to allow himself a slight, casual stretch while the keese weren't quite to the point of trying to charge again yet.

Almost, that was, given that he had to stop mid-stretch to hop out of the way of one, an annoyed little sound escaping the keaton.

"That one first, if you would."

Saphe Elma

Ah, good, the young Kokiri could at least follow through with a request. A request from someone who wasn't much of a mind to pay favors back, certainly, but a request all the same. Letting out a pleased little hum seeing that particular keese drop to the ground, his ears soon twitched at the girl's... taunt? Maybe something like that, for as little mind as he appeared to pay it.

"Mm... as the fairy says. Indeed, that's a talk for shortly after; pest removal first, hm?" he calmly suggested, almost breezily slipping by the next charge of one of the keese that had... gotten its bearings, could he say? Well, maybe. It wouldn't mean all that much before a slight, almost exasperated sigh escaped Revyn. Once again, he hopped up and took a snap at the keese, only just catching it by its wing to bring it down... though also earning him a few more small scratches for the moment. Slight mars to the golden fur that he could... worry about a bit later. After he'd torn the wing off the smaller creature.

"As you can see... I can handle myself quite fine. I just don't want to," he offered, a smirk curling up at his lips and his tails casually setting out as he lowered himself to a seat, now that the remaining keese weren't focused on him. "The rest, then, is yours. Any questions you may have -- and I'm sure there's plenty -- can come after."

Saphe Elma

Oh, wasn't he now? Biting words, truly... but fighting was never really his thing. It was information that he more so dealt in... but he supposed the young Kokiri might find out soon enough. For now, though, calmly as could be, the keaton merely sat and watched, unmoving but for the occasional, slight flick of his tails. At the least, to him, anything qualified as info... and he was hardly averse to people-watching, as it were.

"My thanks," he replied with an amused little sound -- whether he meant it or not, well, at least he said it. And could even go about calmly grooming a bit of the fur around his chin with one front paw while Saphe herself might do her own thing, before his ears perked slightly and he paused once more when she spoke next.

"Mm?" he soon let out, his head quirking slightly at the mention of 'people in Hyrule'. Was that simply how she referred to them, or did she too come from elsewhere? Well now he was curious.

"Oh, come now, my dear fairy. Many beasts like these can be edible if they're prepared right, and one knows what to look out for. As a matter of fact, these ones are not so bad when properly prepared and fried," Revyn suggested on that next point, putting on a slight grin. "Besides, is it not better to let one experience things themselves the first time, so long as it's not too dangerous?" he added, allowing himself a little chuckle. With that, though, he picked himself back up to his feet with a slight stretch and small, content hum, his eyes flicking from the fairy back to the Kokiri.

"That aside, then. 'Saphe', was it? And...?" he offered, a glimpse toward the fairy showing he meant her, whose name he'd not caught thus far. "I myself... go by Revyn. Perhaps Hyrule's one and only keaton, traveler though I may be," he offered in turn. At least, his tone suggested that he had some pride in that... so he could certainly hope it was the case. Though if the rest were as sneaky as he didn't terribly care to be, perhaps it would've been no huge surprise that he'd not have found them... yet.

"Which leads me to wonder... what have you heard of my kin, hm?" he asked, his eyes once more turning to Bi, who, at the very least, had known what to call him. What else, then, he wondered.

Saphe Elma

'Bi', then. And... Great Deku Tree? Oh, now that was interesting. He was certainly no stranger to the unusual -- for as little as he'd have room to talk on that point -- but he would at least have to make a point of seeing this tree of theirs when he had a chance.

Though it wasn't missed on him in the meanwhile that perhaps this Saphe had taken his suggestion to heart. Not that he felt any need to stop her, in any way.


When the fairy decided to drift around him, then, the keaton's eyes merely followed a bit curiously, his trio of tails still slowly and calmly drifting. Though when she disappeared from view, a very slightly annoyed hum escaped him. Well... he had his habits that others certainly wouldn't like, and fairies had their own habits, he supposed. Even if he didn't necessarily like it, it wasn't going to cause him any issue besides.

"Mm. 'Eccentrics', then, I suppose folks would commonly say?" he suggested with a little chuckle, a smirk soon forming at the edges of his lips. "You will certainly have to tell me just where to find this tree and these sisters of yours, hm? After all, if it comes to pursuit of knowledge, none were more knowledgeable than me back where I came from," he suggested, a bit of haughty pride showing that he perhaps hadn't earned... though it was the truth all the same that he had accumulated a fair deal of knowledge. Only a chunk of which now applied to this land of Hyrule.

"But... I suppose I did say I would allow questions in exchange for the bit of help, did I not? So... what shall we start with, then?"

Saphe Elma

Ah... the fairy was curious about something like that, was she? And the young kokiri... well, who knew. Though really, what others thought of him was of no actual concern; he was something of a loner by nature, after all, only really sticking with things that interested him. If others didn't like that, that was their problem.

"To that, then... people called it Termina. A rather different place than this Hyrule, in many ways... but perhaps I couldn't say that much, seeing that I haven't been in these lands for long yet," he mused, giving something of an idle shrug... or well, a small gesture of his head that could convey about the same feeling. "Though I'll not, even then, claim it was where I was born, if that is perhaps what you're asking. There... well, who could say what people call the place. It was so dull that I didn't stay long enough to find out," he added, allowing himself a little chuckle. That much, at least, was truth enough... though it wasn't as though he was going to tell a full story either way.

"But, never minding that little detail... it's already seemed to me that there are some civilized races here that weren't over there, and a bit the other way around, perhaps... to say nothing for the monsters. Well, besides, say, simple little keese like this, of course," he thoughtfully hummed, glancing down to what remained of one by his own feet. "To say nothing of those in particular. Is there not some way up there, then? That is, besides a fairy like yourself simply flying up... winds permitting," he curiously asked, his eyes drifting up to some of the floating islands up in the sky. Those, he had to admit, had been his biggest point of curiosity since coming here... and all he'd managed to hear so far was that people seemed to call them 'Sky Province'.

Saphe Elma

'Bird folk', hm? Well, it certainly wasn't an inaccurate way to put it, from what he'd seen. And the thought had, at least momentarily, crossed his mind... along with the thought that they could just as well drop him whenever they might like. And him being the not terribly durable creature that he was, well... the prospect wasn't very enticing.

But there was always a way to manage... or would be. Even if he had to wait for it, he still had plenty of years yet to live.

"Balloon, hm? Now that would be a simple enough matter, wouldn't it? Enough durable cloth or such things to patch together tightly, something to carry you under it, something to keep it rising... but well, that would still just as well be at the mercy of the wind, so it may not be what I'd call the best solution," he thoughtfully hummed. Well... maybe it could be an option, maybe not. For now, at least, there was plenty yet to see at ground level... so he could leave his own thoughts on the matter for another day.

"Is there something that interests you, by the way?" he asked, his eyes settling on Saphe, whose own gaze he hadn't missed. "My first guess, if so, would be the tails -- that is what seems to catch most people's attention, I've found -- but well, that's only a guess," he suggested, putting on a slight grin.

"Ah, but I suppose I've asked my questions, hm? I'd just as well guess there's still more you might like to know?" he asked in turn, his own gaze shifting over to Bi.
