"Calm yourself," Branimir commanded, "you may be human but you are still a man are you not?"
He sighed for a second as he regained his composure.
"You are here because the forest opened herself to you. Assuming you are as uninformed as you say you are you are either in need of sanctuary or are on a journey much like the other human who entered some time back. You were wounded when I found you so I brought you into my lodge for treatment."
Branimir's gaze never wavered despite the mix of emotions that must have been on the other person's face. Seeing a child transform into a full-grown man was not ordinary in the human world and often humans called it "magic". They had a similar word here, although with a different connotation.
"Despite what you may think, I've done nothing to harm you and you are free to leave any time that you so choose."
In a gesture of good faith he whistled and two pixies brought a cup of warm water to Gabriel, leaving it on the nightstand next to him before flying through the window.
"I am merely Branimir, guardian of the Glades."
