They... [ oh, how to explain this? Edel loves dryads. He can't deny they're easily frightened by humans and yes, nature has a tendency to attack! No, really, they're just misunderstood! ]

They're like any living creatures. If you take care of them, they won't be scared of you. If you don't, well...

What other creatures can you tell me about? I've only ever heard of them in stories, and never expected to find that they're real.

[apathycary]
