Curiouser and curiouser.
He did not speak this language of hers, though he could understand any word that was spoken, though his tongue could form any sounds. He could not even comprehend it as a language, so outside of his understanding was it.
Could he touch her? She hadn't asked for anything, nor taken. Or perhaps she had, if he assumed she had wanted shelter, because he had certainly given her that. Safety was surely worth a few trifling touches. It was not often that he justified touching others, since his touch was usually something for others to earn, but he was curious.
Tossing aside his apple, he took her wrists; his touch was effervescent. He turned her hand around, furrowing his brow as he looked at her palms. There was nothing there, neither magic nor mundane; only hands. He had not the slightest idea what she'd been trying to do with them, waving around like that, but she was still much more silent than any mortal woman he'd met.
"Who stole your words?" he asked, releasing her hands to press a curious finger at the hollow between her collarbones, as if he would find them hiding there. He had done it himself, sometimes, stealing the words from people, but he'd never had anyone come to his grove with their words already stolen.
