"I'm sure that will work fi-" the Huldra begins to reply when suddenly the halfling child zooms away!
Freddy offers Reelshka a rather sheepish grin. "Ah, well, it was nice talking to you m'lady! Fare well!"
And then the demon-fox takes off after the little girl! Given that he's build like a wolf-sized fox he can probably keep up with the girl relatively easily. Trotting with the occasional bound will be more than sufficient unless the kid boasts super speed.
As the pair run off into the woods Marty might notice them.
I mean... a huge fox that's on fire is kind of hard to miss after all.
Just sayin'.

Andy will go give him a bit from everything, after all he don't know what this guy eats and what he doesn't eat even if he starves. After the man? seems to recover strength Andy will sit next to him.
"What happened?"
"Nothing happened, I just haven't been able to get my hands on any food for a week. Tends to be detrimental to one's health, you know," Aiden says, with more than a little sarcasm in his voice. He rubs his face for a few seconds. "Damn, I need a shower," He mutters under his breath.
"But you don't have a scent! r. You should have a scent,r! All the animals have scents, and all the people have scents, but you don't,r! Why don't you have a scent,r?"
Keo is rather hung up on this situation! This is the first time this has ever happened to her! Even rocks have smells! Keo will sniff, sniff, sniff trying to see if maybe there was a smell there that she was just missing?
"Yeah. I'm the freak. Compared to the half-cat, half-person sticking their nose up people's butts to smell them. Hell, even when I'm a cat, there's some things that are just considered rude."
"Freak."
Reinholdt does not find Keo's lack of social niceties particularly endearing!
Hmm... maybe he only doesn't have a scent when he's human.

Rein did know he was exaggerating. Childishly even.
That does seem odd. "Well if you're not a freak, then why are you speaking differently now?" Obviously only freaks do that! It's like switching from normal to itali... oh.

Keo will, after a moment, turn around and leave. She will run back to doing something else.
Oh, a nap! Keo will go take a nap somewhere in the sunlight. In fact, the roof will be in view of Rein's front door. This is honestly not malicious, just a nice place to nap in the sun.
Hopefully Lily won't go running off on her own and leave the demon-fox trying to figure out where she went. That would be troublesome!
And hopefully this guy won't be troublesome again, either.
Because Freddy would really like to avoid troublesome happenings if at all possible.
Anywho!
He glances back at the yelling guy!
Wonder what he's yelling about?

Marty is about as intimidating as a puppy could be in the daylight. He waves and almost trips on his own feet. Not surprising, what with his new limb. He walks over to the Huldra. Er....h-hello...I just c-came t-to find you t-to say....s-sorry. I w-wasn't thinking straight back there...I said some m-mean things. I h-had just had s-surgery you see, and I w-wasn't feeling too great. Just thought I c-could apologize t-to you p-privately. Marty looks over at Lily. He smiles. I w-won't hurt you...I'm j-just Marty.
"Ah, well, that's fine I guess," Freddy replies before giving one of his tails a flick, the end taking on an almost claw-like appearance. He'll then opens his mouth waaaaaay wider than should be possible, reach into it, and pull out a small letter with Marty's name on it.
"Here! I was supposed to give this to you. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go talk to Pathfinder about making sure that Wights and Bogarts and stuff can't get into the camp ground."
Because Wights and Bogarts are terrible!
Did you know Bogarts steal babies?
It's true.
Those horrible Bogarts.

Marty looks over at Lily. I'm r-really n-not a b-bad person...Y-You just c-caught m-me at a b-bad time. He will then stop talking to the young halfling seeing as she seems to hold a grudge. Suddenly, letter! From the Huldra's mouth? Marty slowly reaches for the letter before shuddering a bit. Y-You...ate the l-letter?
"What? No! That's ridiculous. I stuffed it into my back since I'm hollow inside. See?" he'll then turn around 'n plop down on his haunches. Marty will be able to see the oak bark that covers the Huldra's back. Near his left shoulder-blade there's a broken branch sticking off that forms a knothole. Should Marty peer into the hole he'll see the blazing blue fox fire instead the Discordant creature.
"Hollow inside. I realized that I could store things inside myself a few days ago and have been taking advantage of it since."
Woohoo!
Storage space!

"I guess Wolfen cubs fight amongst themselves more than I'm used to." Pansy says.
The name calling is creative and varied, but mostly seems to boil down to Tito being a coward and Lily being stupid.
Main Cabin - Yesterday
"They do, but then again, we have an ingrained need to establish Dominance over one another at a young age." He admits. "We're still a feral culture and animals in heart and soul." At that, the shaman cracks a bit of a smile. "But we love it and wouldn't change it for anything."
After a moment, he looks up at Pansy and gives her hand a squeeze. "I'll gladly take them off your paws for a bit. You needn't worry about a thing." He swears before getting up to head to the children. "Would you two like to hear a story? I promise it's not one I or my brother have told you yet."

Aunt Reelshka said she's going to be Mrs. Druid's baby's godmother, she says.
Sapling Cabin
"What's a godmother?" Waterstrider asks. It sounded like what the Dawn Wolf was, but given the context, he figured it was different, so needed to ask.
Forest Hut
As the pair get nearer, Freddy will likely feel a very strong presence of spirits and spirit energy which could likely be a form he's yet to really encounter. The area around the hut itself is a tightly woven shield of protective spirit energy, vines, brambles, and trees. Other than the shield itself, guardian Tree Spirits hold up residence directly outside the place. While he might not be able to see them at the moment, he'll likely sense them.

Kitchen
"I could show you a free cabin, there you could sleep and wash yourself. I still wonder why you weren't not able to get your hands on something to eat? After all there should be a reason. Maybe you tell me who you are first?"
Andy will lead him to a Free Cabin after he took his meal, if he wants. he still isn't sure who he is or what this guy wants.

Aiden doesn't go to the cabin yet. "I'm Aiden Kester. I couldn't get any food because I don't have any money, and the streets have a remarkably low amount of discarded food I can take." He'd take some natural food like berries, but he has no idea which are safe and which would poison him.
"This is the safest place in the WHOLE WORLD," Lily tells Freddy solemnly, as they arrive at Pathfinder's hut.
Main Cabin - Yesterday
Lily stops struggling as soon as Pathfinder mentions the word 'story', but since Tito doesn't, he ends up smacking her elbow hard onto the wooden floor. Lily yelps in pain, and Tito scrambles off of her and looks at her elbow.
"I'm sorry, Lee-lee. Let me check," he says, as he pushes up her sleeve to check it. Lily sniffles a little, and lets her brother examine her elbow.
"Is it bleeding?"
"No, just a little red." Tito says. "I'm sorry."
Lily hugs her brother and gives him a kiss on he cheek. "It's okay. Pathfinder is going to tell us a story!"
There's a good chance that the spiritual power permeating this part of the forest is quite unlike anything the Huldra has every encountered. In his homeworld you have the three divine powers and elementalism. And of course the souls and spirits of various living things.
But there's no such thing as 'natural' power. 'Nature' isn't even really considered a thing.
And as such Freddy really has nothing to compare nature spirits too. Aside from the few fey that he's briefly encountered. Mostly that dryad lady.
He moves with caution, nodding when Lily speaks up.
"Yeah," he agrees. "It certainly feels that way. Do you... uuhh... do you think that Pathfinder will still be mad at me from before?"
