[He doesn't wait for a response before he's out of his cell and looking for her. How hard can it be to find a crying girliemon.]

Harder still was taking in that letter from the lord of this place.
So, he's kept mostly to his own room and has been coming out mostly for food and that's about it. Still, as much as he'd like to, he knows he can't just stay in there forever and that doing so won't change anything.
Acclimation, although he'd prefer to deny all of this, seems the best option.
He'd been examining the barracks kitchen facilities and was just coming back from there when he heard the crying. Cue the good faun doing what the good faun does.]
Hello?
[When he actually sees Aht, however, he has a moment of pause where his eyes widen just a bit.]

No, child, not your uncle, I am quite afraid. My name is Tumnus.
[He looks her over, and apart from her rather brilliantly coloured hair, he might have thought her from his own home. He reaches out a hand and gently brushes a tear from her cheek.]
Now, now .. none of that, hmm? We are at a place known as Holloway's Keep .. [She's a bit shorter than he, but not terribly. He was rather on the short side for a faun. Still, he squats down so he is in a half kneeling position, one hoofed leg bracing and balancing him against the ground.]
Where are you from, child?

What's a Holloway's Keep?
[There's nothing like that back home and she's been all over.]
Celestia.
