Zadok snorts derisivly at the joke. "Storm no joke, these ones go inside before these ones get frozen like ice statues."

Zadok lowers the girl inside the bunker, then himself, taking extra care to cover the hatch.

"These ones be safe, for now." he says, making a seat out of metal crates full of dried king truffles.

Tayslin shivers at his implication. "I'm steadily gaining more appreciation for you and your timing. You certainly seem knowledgeable and I certainly wouldn't want to be left out in that by the sounds of it! I do rather appreciate my body heat." Wraps her arms around herself, attempting to see the insides of their shelter despite its impossibility due to the lack of light. Coughs once then uses one hand to explore a crate. "Is there anything in these boxes?"

Zadok snorts at her question "Boxes contain King Truffles, smell bad, but this one has license to collect them." He says, rumaging through a footlocker.

Zadok takes out a thermal blanket and hands it to the girl. "That one take this, keep warm." He says as he searches for the lighting controls.

Takes it and wraps it around her shoulders. "Thanks again Zadok. I know I ask a lot of questions. Although I wasn't born for adventure I try to get enough of it vicariously. Do you live in this cave? Is it one connected in a series of underground tunnels throughout the forest? I've always thought that would be so useful." Laughing self-consciously she apologizes. "I can stop jabbering, it is possible."

"Is not cave, old bunker." Zadok says as he rummages in a side room, looking for something for the girl to eat.

"This one would like to know why that one came here." He says, smashing open a jar of something unmentionable, while at the same time mixing in a variety of several different substances.

"This smell like feet, but will keep that one alive." He says, offering her a small plate.

Crinkling her nose but taking the plate with a half-smile Tayslin begins to nibble on the unidentified substance. "My thanks Zadok. Your comment is an accurate one though this is worse even than any feet I've ever smelt." Grimacing as she slowly ploughs through the small amount she takes note of the roots creeping across the walls, water droplets slithering down their twisting paths.
"Me Zadok. I came to be in this part of the woods because I was following a fay trail. I know it's silly but ever since I witnessed one as a child I've been fascinated with the idea of seeing more of them-a task none to easy for humans. My friend and guide Gerld is often dragged along on my expeditions but this time he was out harvesting some of the crops and I couldn't wait since the day was such a perfect one for fay-on the brink of change you know- so I just headed out. Unfortunately, as is often the case with my luck I ran into a hostile insect and remained reclined until you found me. I was, I scorn to admit, terrified for my well-being but my trust in the inbred goodness of most creatures has thankfully paid off once again. I'm always thankful for the blessings of whatever powers seem to watch over me and my girlish ways. Once I reach home I will do my best to acquire some repayment for you, anything it is within my power to offer Zadok. Please ask and I will see what I can do." Pausing to stare at the remainder of her food she closed her eyes and rested a moment before looking up at him again.

Zadok stops his rumaging through the locker, full of assorted odds and ends, tilting his head as he listens to the girls words.

"Zadok needs nothing." He says simply. "This place, these roots, this water and this air belong to me." He pauses for a moment, looking for some trace of recognition in the girls face.

"All this one asks is that that one and this one be friends." Zadok sits on a large metal packing case covered in moss. "Storm will last half a moon, i found you just in time." He says, resting his huge hands on his knees.

"I really did pick a bad time to go out. It'll be that long! " Gazing at the ground despite her dismay she yawns and tries to hide it behind her hand. "You seem very wise Zadok. I've grown up amongst luxury for most of my life so although I often admire the simple ways I'd probably be hard pressed to live them.Will there be enough supplies for us to hunker down here for a while?"

"Yes, this one made sure of that." He says, rumaging through another footlocker. "This one hopes that you are no ones prey." Zadok says, carefully removing a large package from the footlocker.

"This should keep that one warm." He says, offering her the package. "This one would like to know why this one needs to go looking for danger." Says Zadok, who is now shoving around some old training dummies.

"I certainly hope I'm no one's prey either. I don't really understand why that would be the case unless someone was really desperate. My father doesn't have any enemies so far as I know and yes we're well-off but there are others even more so. Having run through those deductions I've successfully consoled myself that no one is after me." Laughing she unwraps the package to reveal a large wool blanket. "As to me looking for danger, I don't really. I just like a bit of a thrill. I guess it's nice to move around as much as I can before my mother finds a husband for me. After that I'll have a homestead to run and the usual lot. Few chances to run around in the forest will exist then."
Cocking her head to one side she examines the training dummies, a puzzled expression turning her face very comical. "And do you use those? Or are they just one of many things down here? I certainly wasn't expecting you to uncover those in a place like this." Leaning her head back against the wall she has to struggle a little to keep her eyes open.
