[Hey, he can appreciate a durable bard - it means he doesn't have to keep as close an eye on him, clearly, because he's actually more shatter-resistant than all his bony limbs would suggest.
Just let him mouth 'tree-folk-types' in repetition before answering. Words, so important. So valuable. So incredibly amusing.
The question, though, is the first thing that seems to upset his balance. His aura of confidence is at least sufficiently lessened for the moment.] As...as a spell, yes. Not just whenever I please, at least not like a proper language would sound. Body language and a few noises suffice for most animals talking to each other, doesn't it?
[Okay so maybe words aren't his favorite for a myriad of reasons, and his own stubborn one-language brain is one of them. What then, huh. It's not that uncommon. Lots of people talk to animals just using their spells-- he's watching you, Cynric, watching very carefully.
That hole that's mysteriously appeared can be arranged, sir, if you're not polite.]
