Falco carefully climbed to the bottom of the ravine (and without too much difficulty, considering his every day adventures that involved similar feats) to join the others and observe the newcomer. He saw the kindly glint in the old man's eyes, and he felt a warm confidence go through him. Of course they could trust this man. He had the atmosphere of a father or a grandfather or an uncle or something. Someone who would take care of them. And he wanted to say so, but... of course Sondo was still angry with him. If he said anything in favour of the old man, it would probably make Sondo be against him.

Timidly he approached the old man, and, with Bingo, gazed up at the smoke rings. But slowly he drew his eyes away from the pipe and looked into the old man's face. And then, he put a shy hand on the old man's knee, and looked up at him with and earnestly trusting smile.

"Sir, would you really help us?" he breathed. "I... I would like your help so much. We've been running into trouble ever since we set out. If you would help us, it would be just like a real adventure. Real adventurers always have guides!"
