As they stood on the river bank a deep booming voice sounded from behind them."Who are you?! What do you want?!"Expecting a fey illusion, neither of them paid the tone of intimidation any head and simply introduced themselves to the thin air, explaining that they are searching for a fey that had been seen in the area. They asked if he was the fey and if he'd introduce himself. From out of the river climbed a Grig, a fey matching the description they had been given. Built like a centaur, but with the body of a cricket and built to that same scale. He held a tiny fiddle and bow. "Here I am" he said, shaking himself off like a dog might. "But I don't want to tell you my name, you're the apprentice of that summoner. He might try to summon and bind me." 1"I promise I won't tell him your name." Arelon said. "Oh... all right. I'm Grikshaw. There's some nice Muckweed over there if you're looking for some... there was another human out here searching for it before."Sienna explained about the birth, being a midwife and needing to get rid of the nervous father for a little while. Grikshaw pulled out a tiny scrap of parchment from a pouch and started scribbling down some details. His scribbles got even more frantic once Sienna mentioned the other two women due soon. "Oh, very interesting. Very interesting indeed."From there the conversation turned to the midsummer festival and the dancing that would be expected then. Arelon confessed that he didn't know how to dance."Well I could teach you." Sienna said."And I could play the music." The grig said chirpily. "Tell you what, meet me here tonight just after sunset and I'll perform while you dance.""Okay, we'll do that." Sienna agreed.1. Technically speaking this isn't actually possible, but just because they're fey doesn't mean they're not superstitious about the capacities of wizards. </blockquote>
