Evian tilted his head to one side, studying the small girl. She had seemed hesitant about something as simple as sharing her name, like she wasn't sure if she should. He reached up and scratched one cheek with a finger - did he really give off an untrustworthy air? Ah well. After his fight with the thing in the forest, he did have to admit he was just a tad unkempt. He gave her a grin and pushed on.

"Nice to meet you, miss Celandine. I'm a -" Evian paused, and frowned. What would he call his occupation? He couldn't just say 'I am an abomination made to spite magic users of a specific type' now could he? He rubbed his chin in thought for a moment. He hunted, but that was just to make a little money, not his job. Finally he shrugged and focused his eyes back on the girl with the goat legs, who was clinging onto the rainbow hued scarf she had been making.

"I'm a traveler, for lack of a better answer." It sounded nice, he thought. Traveling, seeing all the things he had never had a chance to before. So far he had been hiding and surviving, scraping by while avoiding people as much as he could. Maybe he actually should start going around, taking in what the world had to offer. Even if it did include fighting more of those ant-like abominations. He knew he could beat them, with time.

He shook his head and refocused on the girl. She was almost fidgeting, and if he had to guess she was nervous. Maybe she wasn't used to being alone? Or, considering his appearance, she was afraid of him? He held up one hand and took a step back, giving her some space. "And again I say, you don't need to apologize. It was just a bit of yarn, nothing to be concerned with." He hummed for a moment.

"I'd offer to buy you a drink, but I think you'd prefer I leave you be. Have a nice day, miss." With a rueful chuckle he gave her a bow. He wasn't attached to this tavern, so if leaving it made this girl more comfortable he didn't have a problem with that. He picked up his trash and started walking for the door, intending on detouring to a bin as he left.
