[A couple years? Barry would have guessed this young man spent only a couple months in each place before bailing, given his apparent age. Maybe he started young? Or maybe he's older than he looks? Some humans can look remarkably young even decades into their lifespans... Human aging has always been confusing to Barry. It's been so long since he was a calf, he barely remembers any of it, even though his time as a youth would for many humans be considered a long and healthy life. It's clear he still has a lot to learn about humans.
There is the possibility this man could be something else. Something Other. But that notion is so completely absurd, Barry drops it immediately.]
You must have seen a lot of places, then. Things, people... Don't y'get tired of travelin'? [That might have sounded rude. Barry clears his throat apologetically.] It's, uh... Sorry, that's none of my business.
[He shakes his head, ears swaying softly with the motion. The comment about the woods is ignored - his kind favors more mountainous terrain, but that's not important.] By myself. My people are very private. Keep to ourselves, don't bother anybody. We were in the middle of migratin' when I decided t'come here. Human cities are a little too packed and noisy for most, but... I like it here. I think this is what I need right now.
