[He'd thought that it was a simple music box .. That's how these sort of adventures start, isn't it? The simple turning of a key .. magic sweeping you off into a world quite unlike your own. Coming from the land he came from, one would think that Tumnus wouldn't act in such a rash manner. Perhaps that he would recognize magic when it was being used to compel him into action. Had he not done the same thing, many years ago, when he lulled young Lucy into sleep with the intent to hand her over to the White Witch? Even so, he'd turned the key and he comes to again blinking rapidly, hooves clicking against the ground as he falters backwards a step or two.]
Oh, whatever was that all about?! [His eyes widen as they settle and actually take in his surroundings, his mouth falling open as his gaze sweeps around the Hall.
This was not Cair Paravel .. in fact it didn't look like Narnia at all. No Narnia that he knew!]
Oh, d-d-d-dear! [His wide eyes sweep the surrounding area and he swallows thickly, clutching his parcels tightly to his chest. He felt the parcel dig into something unfamiliar and he loosens his hold, glancing down. Around his neck, next to his reed pipe, is a key unlike any he has seen before. It was not on his person a moment ago, he is sure of it! That was not the only surprise, though .. no, there was also a
lion faced circular seal pinned to the material of his scarf.] W-w-what in heavens name?? Ahh .. h-hello??
[He shifts from foot to foot, hooves clicking almost in time with his nervous heart beat. He glances around, uncertain as to what's happened and how he's come to be here.] Excuse m-m-me, if y-you d-don't m-m-mind..?
[OOC: First and foremost, sorry for the repost if you saw the first one I posted. I realized some issues with my first attempt and deleted the post in effort to not sound like an utter nutter in the post itself, as it rambled all over. :|
Tumnus has no idea what's going on, like most new arrivals. He doesn't know why he's here or how it happened .. he hasn't quite linked the music box to any of this at all. Although he's from a magical world himself, this is nothing like his home and he will soon realize that. He is a faun and could easily be mistaken for any number of creatures, most likely a satyr, which is he certainly not! (far less lecherous!) He'll be a bit uncomfortable at first, and rather bumbling because of it. Stuttering generally happens when he's worked up emotionally, such as stress or embarrassment.
Please feel free to bump into him in the Entranceway vicinity or speak to him over seal. :3
Also, please forgive my truly atrocious attempt at a Paint version of Tumnus' seal .. it was really just to give you the gist of it. XD FORGIVE MY FAIL!!]
