Yes, it sure would be. Especially if whatever happens to him happens to that book, also. It's become somewhat interesting.

Force speed, here we go.

… He'll come into her range again shortly. It seems he's stopped! Perhaps he noticed the lack of noises behind him and decided it was safe to do so.

It'll be easy to catch up to him, then.

And presently, here she is.

She'll find him in a little clearing, quite a ways into the forest! … He seems to be sitting against the trunk of a tree. He might be sleeping.

There is also a little animal sitting near him. It looks like a bunny.

Why does she have a bad feeling about this...

Who knows? The bunny just looks so cute and pettable, right there.

… Is that a bite mark on his hand? It's very possible that that's a bite mark on his hand.

It also seems like the book, which is so conveniently placed just under his leg, has decided to glow again.

Sinister bunny creature, check. Elleira will stand over here, well out of range, and float the book over. What's it say?

Well, it looks like it's decided to mention that his last words were approximately 'ow' with a slight hiss.

Oh, and the book also wishes to mention that the leaves of the tree right here very helpfully happen to have anti-venom properties. Somehow. Possibly quite mysteriously. Seeing as this whole place seems quite mysterious.

Placing a leaf in his mouth might work? Might want to get rid of the cute bunny first, though.

So the book is volunteering unsolicited information now. This fucking place.

Can the bunny fly? Whether it can or not, she sends it soaring through the air, over the trees.

The bunny doesn't appear to be able to fly, no!

… There appears to be a second bunny, though. It's not really clear how it got here, seeing as it just appeared in her range at the other end of the clearing. Without being present before.

...

She chucks that bunny, too.

… Hm, maybe she missed one? There seems to be a third now.

Apparently this place wants there to be a bunny here. Whatever. As long as it stays away. She grabs a leaf off a tree and fits it into Thario's mouth.

… Is he starting to go blue?

...Any helpful hints, book?

It doesn't seem to have any!

But Thario seems to start coughing. And spluttering a little. And is getting rather rapidly less blue.

(The bunny is looking over at them innocently from near another tree at the edge of the clearing.)

Yeah, you just stay away, bunny.

"How'd that running work out?"

"Fine," he says after spitting out the leaf, still coughing a bit. "But then: bunny."

Then he blinks. "Okay, um, what the hell? Since when do I speak– whatever it is that you're speaking?"

"Since sometime after you left. Has anything else happened to you?"

"I don't think so but I have no idea when I would have mystically gained the ability to speak your language so perhaps something has? The bunny ambushed me. It was hiding in a tree, it jumped down, I freaked a little and then it bit me and apparently now I wake up with a leaf in my mouth?"

He gets up and brushes himself off.

"The leaf had antivenom properties, according to the glowy book. So something about either the creature or the leaf is likely the cause."

"Can I see the book?" he asks.

She hands it over.

He looks it over!

"… It looks kinda blurry to me?"

"Is it in your alphabet or mine?"
