Donnell gives his hound a reassuring pat on the head as he makes chit-chat with Len. Despite his usual disinterest in idle conversation, he is inwardly relieved that his inner torment over asking Maia to dance has been interrupted. "I'm well enough, but not sure what to make of all these strangers. They do seem to have a fun-loving nature, don't they? I just hope their intentions are as innocent as they seem. I prefer the quiet of the woods to all these crowds and noise."
Ask her to dance!
Donnell struggles to repress the urge in his head as he awkwardly attempts to make conversation with Maia. It always seems so much easier when haggling over the price of meat! "Err...so, this is...unusual, isn't it? I wonder why these people chose to come to Clearbrook? Have you ever heard of this ritual they're talking about? I hope they're careful with that fire, believe me, you've got to know what you're doing..." Donnell trails off lamely, realizing that he is babbling. Just then, Len Harker passes by with a small, unfamiliar dog at his heels. Rory lurches forward to sniff at the strange dog, and Donnell leaps at the chance to save himself from his own discomfort and shyness. "Hear, Rory! Leave that fellow alone!" he calls, a little too loudly and obviously, as everyone knows his bloodhound would never harm another dog without provocation. Donnell nods at Len, a passing acquaintance. "Evening, Harker. Got yourself a new friend, have you?"
Taller than most others in the village, Donnell looks on from the back of the crowd, and listens closely to the stranger's words. Uncomfortable with the jostling throng, the woodsman briefly contemplates simply returning to his home and a quiet evening with Rory and a good book. 'Eh, what's the harm?' he reconsiders to himself. 'These followers of Desna may be a boisterous lot, but such a chance will probably never come my way again. Might as well stay, at least for a while.' Absently, the ranger looks for a familiar head of dark hair to see if Maia has also been lured out by the commotion.
Donnell's stats, background, and description are posted. Please let me know what you think so far.
