[the traveler has appeared on the edge of town along the road. anyone in the surrounding buildings may have heard it chirping and calling out as it runs toward the town square. and anyone it encounters along the way will have a close to three foot tall red cloaked creature running circles around them.

ooc; an example of the tonal chirps can be found here on a youtube let's play]

[it's so confusing. it doesn't seem like home at all.

the traveler ruffles its cloak and runs in a wide circle, checking the area out before finally getting frustrated and flopping down onto its face.]

[it would sing to him, but being on its face makes that difficult. the scarf waves in the air lazily instead, tapping lightly against Loki's wrist. it must be the wrong mountain, but how could there be a wrong one?

it doesn't understand and that just makes everything so unhappy.

after a moment, the traveler climbs to its feet and shakes]

[and then it runs off into the bushes. it will find the right mountain and come back for you, Loki!]

[Loki stares after the little creature. He makes a token attempt to follow, but this entire afternoon has been incredibly surreal.

He sits down on a fallen tree and reads for a bit, then gives up and goes home, in search of tea.]
