"Let's go right to her, then. I don't think she'd mind at all!" You declare. Azalea gives an enthusiastic nod in response, and flutters over to sit on your shoulder! It's a bit more cumbersome now with her larger size now, but she still fits relatively fine.
You fly down to touch the island's ground, specifically landing in a grassy field just a little bit away from a tropical jungle on Azalea's instruction. From there, you follow a dirt path that barely qualifies as a trail into said jungle, your hunter's instincts constantly alerting you to rustling leaves and darting shadows belonging to a plethora of animals living in the area. You even spot a family of chimps going to town on a staggering amount of bananas they had piled up in a tree, living the dream as far as they're concerned.
It doesn't take particularly long to arrive at a clearing that proves to be much better maintained than the road leading up to it, wherein a fairly unique looking house sits flanked by a garage. You notice that both the front door and the garage door are currently open, so either Tento is completely unafraid of being robbed, she's currently going back and forth from her house to the garage a lot, or she's simply forgetful about such things. Your tentative approach to the front door of the house proves, once you peek inside, that it's the lattermost option - she's simply sitting in a chair completely wrapped up in whatever book she's reading. You...can't actually tell what it is, as the title is in a language foreign to you.
"Knock knock?" You say, grinning as you notice her jump in shock.
"Ahh!" She yells, slamming the book shut on instinct. "Oh, my! V-Visitors? I wasn't expecting any, I'm so sorry!" She says, causing you to quirk an eyebrow and glance over to the fairy on your shoulder.
"You asked me to find the place, that's all! I didn't want to interrupt her reading, so I just looked around while she was doing that and went back to get you." Azalea admits, poking her fingertips together. You shake your head with a smile, before stepping into Tento's house properly and giving the pink-haired woman a wave. A better look around the place shows that Azalea's initial assessment was definitely correct - glass cases on the walls contain a variety of bones, peculiar rocks with bone-like imprints in them, and a wide variety of artpieces from painted to clayform. Surprisingly, there's a lot of unfilled cases, and many of the artifacts she has saved look pretty damaged.
"It's been a while, Tento! Sorry it took so long to come visit." You apologize, bowing as best as you can with your hands as full of rocks as they are.
"Uhhh..." She says blankly, clearly trying to recall what you're talking about before a look of recognition finally crosses her face. "Oh, it's you! You all look so different these days! The stripes were really throwing me off there." She admits, before pausing again. "...Why are you all carrying a bunch of rocks?" She finally asks.
