He is, in fact, a little over three feet tall, but an adult, indeed! His clothing is practical, wool and linen under a waistcoat that looks more like a leather work apron, and a utility belt with full pockets. He does manage to offer a smile once he has her attention, a slightly apologetic tilt to it. "I'm not trying to put you off of the idea or anything, mind you. It's just that I hate to see anyone go out there uninformed."

And the faction leaders are not especially forthcoming.

He nods. "I haven't been there myself, but based on what I've heard, the Cove is safe enough. It's just getting to and from it where you'll need to be cautious."

"I wish I had a map on me, but I don't. The Cove is in relatively shallow area, so you'll be headed away from the Violet Drop. Start out at the docks and make sure each of you has a rebreather. They'll just let you borrow them, they don't even ask for Bones for it if you're on a quest."

He rubs the back of his neck. "Completely unarmed? You should probably have a dagger, but I can at least give you a couple flares, if you like."
