and they saw trouble in my eyes

The damage the storm had wrought was visible in every land he'd made passage through, every territory he had waded through and every person he'd interacted with. They were all struggling and recovering. Gaze trailing the designs upon the Typhoon's gates as he waited with as much patience as he could give, which was in truth, a lot. Too much perhaps. Shaking his head, he set down his basket with its meager pickings, a few packets of dried herbs that had managed to survive the storm, as well as what little dried fish he had been able to rescue from his dry storage high up in a hidden tree nook.

Gaze prying away as his ears picked up on the sound of someone on the other side, automatically making space for the impressive gate to swing open, blinking through at the ruffled sight of Sherbet. Truly, he thought that with his unfamiliar appearance, they must not have met properly before. Something he was sure he was to come across with the other groups. Exhaling in a bit of a startled manner, he would set his basket down and bow his head in return. Luckily, this time, he'd remembered to bring with himself a manner of writing materials. Laying down a piece of soft bark, he took a metal nib quill and gripped it tightly before beginning to write upon it, "Cap. Sherbet. Good visit. Here I visit. Ask for boats. Bring supplies." he was aware of how messy the script would be, watching as the damage to the soft bark turned a darker shade as the veins in the bark became crushed under the quill's weight. It would truly be easier to try and contact him through mental connection but most everyone he came across hated it, and he wanted to keep a good cover with The Typhoon. A young voice reached his ears and brought the tom to look around, eyes lighting upon young Loki, nodding in greeting to her with a smile.

they were quick to recognize the devil in me.
