You bring a very large beast to our forest, Dєrshαk. [the person speaking finally lowers their bow, but not enough that they couldn't easily point it at the ready again.] Have you brought us an omen of destruction? Do we stare into our own deaths as I speak?
[they sound very amused by their own statement, however. not at all the sound of someone who is particularly worried about dying. Robin shakes his head, trying to explain.]
He is a creature of death, but we do not wish it upon anyone today. We would like to pass through peacefully.
