It feels comforting in a way to be here with someone who knows their way around. Even if he can't seem to speak, he could gain valuable knowledge from him he's sure.

Dextera reaches into his coat though, and Hythlodaeus gives him a curious look. He doesn't speak for a short moment, simply waits for whatever the other man seems to have recalled suddenly. In the meantime, he offers the crab more bread, smiling as it nibbles on the treat.

"Have you been here for very long?" He breaks the silence with another question- as long as the question has a simple yes or no answer it seems fine.
