Just as you're wondering if maybe you should sit down and rest a while, a silver shine catches your eye. You take a few steps forward and see a creature unlike anything you've ever seen before.
"Hello," you say curiously, "And what are you?" He turns in response to your question, causing his silvery coat to shimmer appeasingly. The rock around you doesn't seem half as hard as it did before. It seems more like... more like a home now. This is his home.
"I compliment you," you say, half joking, "But this really isn't the kind of place for me." You almost feel reluctant to leave those laughing eyes behind but... but it's not as if you could live here! "I'll see you later, fella."
You wave goodbye, cast him one last glance, and head back down the path again.
