He watches the little gears turning in Silkie's head, smiling at the belated chirp of greeting. Silkie has finally noticed Tux's prize, switching into Trig (which Étoille still has no real grasp on but it is easy enough to guess at what he is saying). The frog makes a successful escape and Tux scrambles to answer, confronted by his and his lookalike's (not serious) judgement. He is also pretty certain the children are not allowed that deep in Hougeda without supervision but Tux is here now, unharmed, and Étoille is not particularly inclined to discipline. "We were just speaking," he answers, adding "and being where we are supposed to be," suspecting he should make some comment at the least or he will be failing at guardianship. To both Silkie and Tux he addresses his next question, his voice rumbling as it does: "what would you like to do?"
