With everyone else too confused and taken aback to do anything, Lyrian got off of his mount and slowly stepped forward toward the creature with a stern expression on his face.
The sorrowful tone in the dweller's face was almost human-like, and Lyrian didn't sense any ill intention coming from it. Just pure sadness, which he couldn't help but try to decipher. 'Is it potentially the child of the fallen creature? That would explain its size difference...'
With the bright orange eyes of the creature following his every movement, Lyrian appeared mere feet from it and stopped. The beast quickly stood up, its movement fast and unpredictable like a chicken moving its head around frivolously.
With its knuckles on the ground like a gorilla, it began to slowly circle around Lyrian, examining every part of his body. It sometimes came in close, smelling something, before retreating once again.
