For a moment he thinks he's hallucinating. Did a man just appear from thin air? Hard to miss, staggering on the sidewalk, dressed in - he'd guess a uniform, but what kind? He hovers for a moment, clutching the small sack of animal bones Quickbeak has been helping him collect. Should he approach? Should he say something? Meeting a stranger, being the one to initiate the introduction, that's terrifying to him.

But this is probably exactly what happened to him several days ago. And what would he have done if Daniel hadn't taken pity on him, extended his offer of help? Surely this man deserves the same. And as there seems to be no one else angling toward him, well...

He swallows and steps over, gingerly seeking eye contact.

"Excuse me," he says a bit softly. What does one say in this situation? What did Daniel say? He can't remember. "I, I saw you appear."

Clumsy, but at least it's honest.
