The sheen across Bogof was now a mask of saddle brown, the once-tall green foliage that appears as the hob's hair going limp across his head like a poor comb-over. Beady eyes, however, look at Alex and Sera with an expression of hope.

"Bogof no monster. Don't know Lady's name. Met at market. Found Bogof and offered help. Sugar to scare away you. Bogof no monster. Bogof not hurt Fleshbags."

Bogof went silent for a few moments before nodding slowly and turning to re-enter his Hollow, leaving the door invitingly open. Before anyone could enter, however, the hob returned carrying the skin of some palm-sized lizard creature. It was definitely dead, nothing but a dried out husk.

"Bogof's map to the market. Will help you find bad Lady," the hob said, offering the lizard to Sera and Alex. "Lady had hair like clouds. Pink. Wore strange glasses. Shaped like fake hearts."

[Seraphina]

It was kind of weird, and entertaining to watch his hair, or whatever it was, do its thing. Almost like him sweating, or basting, was causing the hair to go limp.

Weird. She makes a note to ask Thomas about it. Maybe the little mole man had read something somewhere about it.

Shaking her head, “You’re right, you aren’t a monster.”

Fleshbag? That brought a smile to her lips. In some twisted way, the hob was endearing.

As Alex accepts the lizard, sapphire eyes turn back to Bogof with a smile, “Thank you Bogof.” A brief nod of her head, “Please take care.” That being said, she will follow Alex to the others, curious eyes glancing at the lizard husk.

Nodding as he spoke, “And he actually seemed sorry, in his own way, for what happened, not wanting any trouble. So I hope we can take care of whoever this lady is and no harm comes to him.” Poor Bogof just seemed like it wanted to live his life and be left alone.

Sera and Alexander finish up with the hob, and slowly make their way out of the hollow. Mhairi keeps her place, thinking that if Bogof was watching them leave, that he wouldn't take to kindly to the Autumns hiding - maybe thinking that they were waiting to ambush the pineapple hob, which was true in a sense. But not in the way the hob would probably assume.

So Mhairi waits, waits until the Spring and Summer are far enough away from the hollow for her to feel safe enough to let her fell-flames off them. Then, the ashen wisp turns them towards Thomas, and just what had caught the cleareyes' attention.

"Thomas?"

[Thomas Land]

Thomas emerges to meet his cohort. "Foot prints over there. Hm, maybe belonging to our, um, friend. It seems he can, well, dehydrate things?" A glance at the dried out lizard and a clawed hand is held out. "May I?"

If Alex deigns to hand over the map, the Mole-Man will squint at the thing, trying to make heads or tails of it.

Bogof disappears back into his hollow, the door closing firmly behind him. An meagre, lonely existence carved out in a world stranger by the passing seconds.

Once the lizard-map is in Thomas' clawed-hand, he can feel the thing is quite dead. Obviously. A dried, desiccated husk, its flesh threatening to crumble under the Beast's touch. It's eyes, glassy and unseeing. It's tongue, long, dry and hanging lifeless.

The tongue twitches, slightly, as Thomas examines it, reacting to his breath.

Behind them, the sunlight turns a shade as it creeps closer to dusk.

[Forn Clakes]

The sunlight creeps ever onwards towards the inevitable. The Hedge holds its breath in the silence. The lizard is still waiting.....

Mhairi slips from her place and joins the others, the map changing hands, and fell-flames flicker at the sight of it.

Absently she notices the Alexander is asking for the husk and doing something, but Mhairi asks, "May I?" If Thomas hands her it to her Mhairi will take a look, and turn her own mind upon the lizard.

Thomas's eyes are sharp, if beady and unattractive. They catch that twitch of the Lizard's tongue. And if there's one thing that makes him bold, it's curiosity.

So, when both Groundskeeper and Director approach to collect the lizard, the Mole-Man waves them off impatiently with a clawed hand, humming: "Hm-hmmmmm..."

Then, carefully, he positions the thing in front of his Mole's snout, and blows directly into the lizard's face. Looking to see if that will cause any sort of reaction.
