Lorien watched and waited as the male thought about his offer. It seemed, at first, that he would be rejected but that didn't turn out to be the case. He was suddenly snatched up by the Harpy and carried up to his nest. The man was soon set down upon the ground and watched the Harpy enter the cave. His eyes soon fell upon the egg that the creature was curled around.
"May I approach and touch your egg?" he asked.
He figured that it would be wise to ask before he did anything, lest the creature attack him trying to defend the egg.
