You have noticed over the past few days some mercurial changes in the sprite's demeanor. At first he was kind of shell-shocked and open. Then he because excited and enthusiastic, working on his alchemical project. Now, he seems to have settled into a efficient stoicism. He is not brooding, or cold; just direct. Unbidden, he tells you that it is a common misconception that all fey are jovial and carefree like his pixie cousins. Sprites tend to be more stoic. There are evil and vindictive fey as well, such as hags. That is another misconception, the beings from the feywild are small. That is hardly the case.
"But most do employ deception and subtlety. Except sprites. We are pretty honest for the most part."
Every once and awhile you see him run his fingers on his back, reaching over his shoulder. Sometimes he will look up then bend his legs slightly like he is about to spring into the air, then will look around, embarrassed and defeated. He carries a sprite-sized longbow and wears a sprite-sized longsword at his hip. On his other hip he has a quiver of small arrows, and on his back he has a specialty quiver. It is the type that holds less arrows, and each one has its own kind of sheath, which only covers the last 1/4th of the arrow.
Except there are only four arrows which are more spread out, and the holes for them is more so formed by the hardened leather and fits the arrows snugly. At the tip of each one there is a round pocket with a plug coming out of the top area. You have seen him pour concoctions into the pockets.
The other members of the caravan are merchants and guards. They don't have much to say aside from conversation about the weather, and the threat of zombies, the consensus is that it is not an issue anymore.
You find the cottage to be similar to how you left it. Is there anything else you would like to do there?
