The thing that presented itself stepped over the bushes as though they were twigs. It was taller than even his Uncle Ülfar, and for a man who was a troll, that was saying something. Tristan had the impression that the creature was male, but he wasn't exactly sure. It had long hair that twisted like vines curling down its back. Another mop twisted from its chin, which probably contributed to the masculinity of the figure. Tristan absently scratched at his own beard out of habit, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
He wasn't afraid of the creature, for despite its size, Tristan wasn't exactly sure about either its speed or its intelligence. Yet it carried a hefty bag slung across his shoulders. Yet from its eyes gleamed a frost of intelligence.
It looked at them, and Tristan waited for someone to do something first. The pups sniffed the air, but they seemed no more interested than they would of any other walking tree-man.
Whatever the creature saw in them, it seemed as disinterested as the pups, and he turned and began to walk away, ignoring them completely. Tristan frowned, sniffing derisively as the dismissal.
