[ The ease with which the ent pics up a very sturdy 6-foot-something man renews Sholmes' relief that these beings aren't hostile. What if they'd slid into the den of furious, strong tree people? Maybe Soldier 76 could hold his own, but Sholmes doesn't pretend he or Mikotoba would have very good odds of walking away from that particular adventure.
But it's quite safe, he assures himself, and rather than be horrified at seeing the very capable older man held aloft like an angry cat, he can properly enjoy the undignified sight. Sholmes doesn't hesitate, negotiating the stream crossing with a running leap, and feeling a bit like a child following a very strange, wise adult.
Once the offering at the spring is made, he moves closer—both to examine the glowing waters and cup some of it up for a drink. Not just for investigation's sake; they've been at this a while, and he could use some refreshment.
He rises, shakes the extra water from his hands and reaffixes his fingerless gloves. ]
I appreciate the standing invitation, but we would be wise to exercise some caution. The three of us are upstanding gentlemen, but the same cannot be said of all the denizens of Reverein.
