Kosh seems to have backed off a bit. Alright, let's try to get a peek. Nikta's task is to try and overhear snippets of conversation if they're talking. Henry's task is to at least see the outlines of what kind of creatures they are, and ideally, if it's safe, to get a good look at their faces.

Henry has life detection enabled, remember?

Kasha seems to have backed off. Alright, let's try to get a closer look. Nikta's task is to try to overhear snippets of their conversation if they are talking. Henry's task is to at least see the outlines of what kind of creatures they are, but ideally, if it's safe, to see their faces.

Henry, who likes to observe, and Nikta, who likes to eavesdrop, discovered three elves who were drawing water from the lake.

Nikta managed to overhear the following.

- I'm so tired of being stuck here, this is a horrible place with horrible people, - said the first.
- You wanted to see the world, so why are you complaining now? - replied the second.
- I didn't know that people were such disgusting creatures. It's even unpleasant to breathe here, and we're still drinking their water. These animals probably relieve themselves here...
- Maybe, but there's no choice. As soon as Zloelia finds a way to get to the Temple, we will explore it and leave. So stop whining, - said the third.
- I hope it won't be for long, - the first grumbled unhappily.
- Quiet! I heard something!
The second elf turns her head towards Henry and Nikta.

Far behind, around a bend in the path, the uncle emerged from the reeds that lined that stretch of the shore, retying the drawstrings of his pants. Although his hands were dry and clean, he still spat on them and wiped them thoroughly on the fragrant grass – a useful habit in everyday life.
Lazily lighting a cigarette, he returned to the remaining members of the group, who were waiting for the scouts to return.

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.

"Wow, they look like they're straight out of a Korean online game! And we were just going to walk by this spectacle, haha..." – thought Henry to himself, feeling quite pleased, perhaps a little too pleased, which is why he didn't immediately notice that he had been spotted. When the American realized that he was being watched, and the silence stretched on, he put two and two together and understood that these elves' big ears were clearly not meant for playing the wolf in the Little Red Riding Hood story.
-- Pfft, -- the guy sighed, and, as if nothing had happened, he walked towards them, putting on the most friendly, but at the same time least saccharine, smile that his face was capable of.
-- Uh, are you girls alright?

Nikta freezes, hoping the strangers will switch their attention to Henry and stop looking around in the bushes.

Kosh hasn't approached yet.

А, вот почему.

– Uh, are you girls okay?

The archers flinched, as if about to draw their bows, but recognizing the man, they changed their minds.
- Oh, hello. Yes, everything is fine, - said the second.
- You can come closer, don't be afraid) - said the third.
The first remained silent.

-- Oh, uh, okay... -- the elves had just seemed so serious, but suddenly they became friendly, and the guy got a little embarrassed. So much so that he even showed an unprecedented level of gentlemanly behavior. -- Want me to help you with the water? I mean, to fill it up.

The first one snorted and folded her arms across her chest.
- Of course, - the second one hands Henry an empty flask.

– I thought you had bigger bottles here, – said the American. – I guess my eyesight isn't what it used to be. “Of course, I can see all the best and most beautiful things perfectly well.” The young man readily takes the flask and fills it with cleaner water, trying to get as few algae and Xeen molecules into it as possible, and hands it to the second elf. – Henry. You're traveling, aren't you?

The guy readily takes the flask and fills it with cleaner water, trying to get as few algae and Zein molecules into it as possible, and hands it to the second elf.
-- Henry. You're traveling, aren't you?

While Henry was filling the water, a third elf crept up to him and pulled a smartphone out of his pocket.

- Oh, what is this?

He has an Android; it's not like he's some guy with an iPhone.
-- Huh? -- the guy was quite surprised by such a flippant remark. -- This is my smartphone. I mean, my smartphone, give it back, uh, I don't know what to call you... It's not working right now, but I still feel dumb without it.

- Here you go, - the elf girl handed the smartphone to Henry.

- Here, - the elf handed Henry a smartphone.

Internally preparing to make a skill check for accuracy against evasion, he takes (tries to take) the smartphone.

When Henry tried to take the smartphone, the elf pulled her hand away and threw the object to the second elf. "So, what is this thing? It looks very strange," asked the second elf, catching the object.
