OOC: Crispy, do we still happen to have the tulips from our offering to the stick man on the pyramid a while back?  If so, I'll take my tulip and leave it amongst the other flowers.

I suppose you would sure. A small black stick figured creature pokes it head from behind the wagon and cautiously observes you as you put the tulip down.

Clayton’s eyes widen, if this thing is the same type of creature as before, he gestures over, claps his hands over his mouth, and says, “We got company. I ain’t eating anymore snakes. The last one I ate is now hitched into my soul.”

This little creature doesn't want you all to eat snakes, it's sensing you're not immediately hostile, so it's just looking you over. Very cautiously.

OOC: I'm thinking Bree or Clayton should talk with it?  You guys, I'm guessing, have the highest CHA.

The small creature is painfully shy, and is wearing a white mask with a decorative black pattern on it. It looks at the tulip, and slowly, ever so slowly, walks towards it, a small swarm of small harmless bees buzzing around it follow it. It looks you all over very carefully. Every time you move, it startles and freezes. It's extremely small, about 5 to 6 inches tall. But yes, it's the same creature that give you hints on the trials of the Oracle. It studies Yasei very carefully even though Clayton is talking. It looks like this might be it's home. It gives no sign that it understands what you're saying. It seems very interested in the tulip.

Clayton will create a parrot feather and present it.

Bree will watch closely, but she doesn't want to harsh on Clayton's attempt. Maybe she can, in game terms, Help him, so he has advantage on any persuasion roll?

The creature is startled by the effect, and in turn, after a moment, waves its little stick figure arms and a tiny explosion of pollen fills the air in front of it. It continues to look over you all with hesitant curiosity. It takes the feather slowly, and looks it over, studying it intensely. It looks back towards the wagon, back at you, back at the wagon, back at you, and makes a decision. The next thing you know its on Yaseis shoulder, as if it has found a new mount.

"Well then, I guess you get to name him, Bacon."

The scent of honey lingers wherever you go now, as long as you are with it. 

“At least I smell like fresh honey now, instead of stomach acid. Hello there, little one!  My name is Yasei.”

The small creature looks at Yasei, but doesn't say a word. It give you all curious looks, as if it was eager to learn more about your kind and your travels. Musharib ponders for a moment. 

"I believe this little thing is called a Chwinga. It's an elemental. They're so elusive I thought they were just made up! Guess I was wrong!"

Shariel seems amazed by the little thing, "This place is fascinating. Truly, these are servants of The Eight."

“Eh, it seems to like Ms. Yasei more. I believe she has the honor of naming our new friend.”

Shariel turns uncharacteristically serious, "Yasei, The Eight are the very pillars of existence. Please take great care of your new friend."
