The sun was out, not too hot out today, but not particularly chilly either. Walker wasn't entirely certain where he was going, but he knew the person he was looking for this time was outside the walls of Barton, somewhere in the trees. It was somewhat hard to tell, which made it an increasing annoyance.
The man sighed, running his fingers through his hair and pulling it back off his face. It was down today, though he'd probably need to tie it back soon. He liked the whole "poetic, artsy type" look, but it was a hassle sometimes.
He had a discman in his pocket, an ancient contraption compared to what was out nowadays, but whatever. The DVD disc was sitting inside, the name Aurica Nestmile looking like it was typed out on top of the disc, a date roughly a week from today underneath.
Hopefully the person would show soon. As long as it wasn't another faun... Why did it feel like they'd make the best people for either confusion or perfect parents? (Though honestly he'd have preferred the confusion over fantastic parents. He'd rather not have perfect parents, since that would add to his amusement, actually.)
If only they'd show their damned face already, he already had an idea of what he'd do to drop the item. Sliding discman out of his pocket, he held it in one of his hands, his fingers wrapped around it with the headphones dangling around his neck. Come ooonnn...
He wasn't a particularly patient person.

She'd been watching him since he entered the forest. He was too well dressed, and seemed too purposeful to be here just for the atmosphere. He was either one of those nasty deforesting types, or was simply here to cause mischief. Either way, Orianne wasn't going to put up with it.
Shimmering auburn hair dripped down her back in faint waves, contrasting the back of her moss-coloured cotton dress, full and flowing as much as her hair. Delicately pointed ears peeked through the hair, and her petite frame was slightly rigid, as she stepped out in the man's path.
"Hello, are you looking for something?" She was a nice girl, and a trusting soul in general. But he just looked so untrustworthy! Men usually did, though.

Walker had felt her energy when she finally came near to him, but still feigned surprise when she dropped down in front of him, dropping the discman in the process. It fell on the ground with a muffled thud, the CD popping out in the process. Kneeling down, he started scooping it back up, eyes on the ground as he tentatively "felt" her energy.
She was suspicious. Already? He hadn't even said anything yet, so that was fairly surprising. He sent a faint thought of friendliness towards her mind, letting it snake in and hopefully settle there. As far as he could tell, she was part elf, so it might be harder to lay in there because of the difference between elves and humans, or even satyrs.
So he let the tendril of thought strengthen slightly, invisible to any eye but his, and settle "around" her head, as it were. Hopefully it would work.
"Erhm, well, I was really just taking a walk in the woods, miss." Walker said, standing up with a small, sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his neck through the longish hair. The discman was nestled once again in his hand, though the disc was still lying on the ground, with a strong "ignore me" thought floating around it, that would disappear when he did.

Being one-quarter elven did not, unfortunately, contribute much to Orianne's make up, other than soft, pale skin, green eyes, and pointed ears. It decidedly heightened her love and affinity for the trees in which she lived amongst, but that was more of a breeding thing, than a racial one.
The shift in her manner towards him was strange to the girl, she had been adamant to be suspicious. It melted away, however, in the face of the sheepish grin, and she extended one in return, faint blush showing.
"I'm sorry, you just don't look like the woodsy type. We get a lot of young people up here, starting fires, polluting things...." Her voice was now decidedly disapproving and troubled. Shaking her head, she smiled. "I'm sorry to bother your walk, I'll leave you to it."
One arm extended into a point. "If you go up that way, there's an absolutely spectacular little pond in a grove of willow. Absolutely breathtaking, it's one of my favourite places."

He smiled in relief as the woman relaxed; apparently the little thought had taken enough root in her mind to be of some use.
"Right, yeah. I'm not one of those kinds. Vegetarian and all. Weirdo art student, I think is the stereotype that applies to me." Walker said with a friendly smile, laughing softly as he made fun of himself, looking very like an unorganized college student.
"Really? If you say it's nice, I'm sure it is. I'll be sure to check it out. Gotta be running now, though. Was just taking a brief walk before I have to meet a friend in town." He gave her a military salute, accompanied by a thankful look as he looked in the direction she pointed for the pond.
"Anyways, yeah. Gotta go now. Top o' the mornin' to ye." He said, before trotting in the general direction of the pond, giving her one last wave over his shoulder. Once he was out of her eyesight, he immediately disappeared with a small pop, while at the same moment the "ignore me" thought on the small disc evaporated, leaving it in the grass and flashing in the dim sunlight through the trees.

Bemused now, Orianne didn't think much of him. He'd claimed to be a 'weirdo art student', and maybe he was. What kind of art, however, was a mystery. Ah well.
Hands in her pockets, the young woman breathed in deep, and a flash of light caught her eye. Bending to pick it up, she swore softly. It had a date and a name across the front of the compact disc, making her think it was perhaps a singer? He'd been carrying a music device, right?
Frustrated, she tucked it in her pocket. Now she'd have to hunt the dang guy down to return it!
