[Robin waits at the edge of the forest, for two reasons.
the first reason is that he just needs to look, check the trees for anyone watching. he doesn't think there's anything other than birds and mostly-harmless tree-dwelling creatures around here, but he knows that these people can be tricky. he didn't think they passed this way very often, last he knew... but it's been years since then, and a lot can change in years. he'd keep an eye on an open lake, if he were them.
the second reason is that he remembers the lake behind his bedroom very clearly, back in the dark underground caverns. he remembers swimming there many times, but the Tekhetsio he knew there never really joined him. the one time he did, it didn't go well. a lot of things didn't go well, down there.
so it is both heartbreaking and intensely relieving to see his Tek practically diving into the water, having fun before him, so far away from that awful place he wound up. there's a constant feeling of something coming from Robin in this form, but it swells a little as he stays at the edge of the trees, cautiously and gratefully hanging back to watch.]
