I was just exploring. I wanted to look around and, well... [He shrugs and smiles.] It felt like this place was calling to me.

[He's not sure if he expects the strange man to understand or not. On one hand, most people don't have the senses of an Avatar and can't feel spiritual energy, but on the other hand, that guy just had a bird nap on his head.] What about you? Are you a native, or were you brought here like me?

[He casually glances up, then perks.] Hey! [And without warning, he jumps up much higher than any human really should, then lands light as a feather on a branch above them, crouching down and peering into a knothole in the wood.] There's an animal. I've never seen that kind before. [He's close enough to the knothole to see inside, but not so close that it would be overwhelming for whatever animal there is in there. For its part, a squirrel sticks its head out of the hole, blinking at Aang for a moment before deciding he's not a threat and then pulling back in, possibly for a nap.

Aang, for his part, is fascinated. He's never seen a plain squirrel before!]

[aiwendil]

Ah yes, you heard it too! [If anyone understands that, it's Radagast. No one listens to the forests anymore, they have so much to say if one listens. He had tried to tell Saruman that but of course the white wizard had only scoffed in disdain. Ah well, his loss.

He looks up when Aang suddenly jumps up, peering up and grinning when he sees the squirrel.]

Hello there, little friend! Fear not, it is safe to venture forth. [Radagast is eager to befriend and speak to the beasts here so his voice is friendly, comforting.]

[actually112]

Come on, little guy. It's okay. [Aang holds out a hand to the knothole. The squirrel sticks its head out again, and apparently decides that the two of them are worth its time, because it jumps on Aang's hand and runs up his arm.]

Hey! [He giggles and squirms as the squirrel bounds up his arm and down his back to the branch.] That tickles!

[And then it's running down the trunk towards Radagast, clicking softly as it goes.]

[aiwendil]

[As the small animal comes toward him, Radagast holds out his arm to let it bound up his shoulder. He seems to listen, nodding and speaking quietly to the squirrel before looking back at Aang.]

He is pleased to meet you too! And ah! yes yes! [He's distracted by listening to the chattering of the squirrel before letting it run up his hat to look about.] He knows you mean him no harm.

[actually112]

You can understand what animals say? That's amazing!

[And he jumps off the branch. Jumping from that high should really end with a broken bone, but he lands lightly on his feet in front of Radagast, a gust of wind blowing outwards from where he touches ground.] Can he say what he is? He looks like squirrel toad or a pheasant squirrel, just... without the toad or the pheasant. [The fauna are weird where this kid comes from.]

[aiwendil]

They love to talk, my friend, if you listen. [Radagast assumes it's some magic, Men and Elves have their own he doesn't meddle with so long as they don't harm the Arda. And this one doesn't seem like a threat, Radagast holds out his arm to let the squirrel make his way over to Aang.]

He's a squirrel of this forest, living in that tree which is quite old by his recollection. [The wizard nodded with certainty.]

[actually112]

A squirrel? Nothing else?

[Aang is the furthest thing from a threat to the earth that you could get. He reaches his hand out slowly and goes to gently stroke the squirrel. He has a very light touch, but he likes to pet animals.]

I don't think I've met anyone who can hear the animals, but I have a friend who can hear the earth. She can feel everything that's going on under her feet, like if ants are making a hill or if a rock shifted or if there's a cave. She's tried to teach me, but I can still only hear the wind and what it's doing.

[aiwendil]

[Radagast smiles at how Aang pets the squirrel, even here he feels a protectiveness over the animals and plants.] Ah they are always speaking you must learn to listen then! [He said with a nod, but then again not everyone could always hear the trees as he could.]

The trees, ah they are greeting us as well, welcoming us to their home. [Radagast said as he looked up at the branches gently waving in the wind.] Very content they are.

[actually112]

This is a wonderful place. It reminds me of home. Well, the parts that aren't burned.

[He keeps stroking the squirrel, because it's a fluffy thing and he's not too proud to say that he likes fluffy things.]

How hard do you have to listen to hear the animals and the trees?
