After some thought, Annie decides to let Daylight take the lead for the time being. She's happy to confirm the fact that the forest dwellers can understand them and, for now, will watch how the spirit and Daylight will interact with each other. She's pretty curious to see if the spirit will stick around or not.
When Daylight finishes making the paper flower, he gently places it on the ground and then takes a few steps back with Annie in tow - Just to show he and Annie aren't up to anything tricky-like with the spirit here. Upon realising that Annie has quietly given him the reins, Day looks pretty nervous but he promises himself to do his best and show he's friendly...!
Though he doesn't think the spirit will detect it, he pushes friendliness-kindness-hello into his EM field and pushes it out towards the spirit. All the while he speaks, his winglets moving up and down in what he hopes equals, 'Good tidings' in wingcant. "Hi there- Um... I'm Daylight and this is my friend, Annie." He turns to Annie with a nod of his helm before looking back at the spirit, smiling nicely as he can. "Sorry for, um, spooking you earlier. I promise you that we don't mean you any harm. The moment you want us to leave, we'll leave. I promise. But- Hear me out?"
He takes a deep breath, trying to figure out what to say next now. "So... Um... The flower here-" He gestures to the flower he had made and had settled on the ground just moments earlier. "This is a caster lily. Where I'm from - Where my mom's family is from, really - it means an offer of friendship and good faith. An invitation to become banner brothers, those who become close through adversity and mystery. That's what we want to offer to you and your friends and- And anyone else who's interested in the idea of it.
"It's- It's been weird, I'm not gonna lie. The events that brought us here. What's happened so far and what we learned for far. It's weird and new and different and that's- That's why we're reaching out to you. We want to learn from you guys. About your home. About your lives. About the ways that we can help each other." He tries to wiggle his winglets into something that says, 'Honesty' while pushing sincerity into his field at the same time. "Because we're here now, you know? We're here and you're here and I think we can work together towards... something."
