[It had occurred to them while meeting a few people at random before this, but once in the group it's painfully obviously how out of place Phos is. To them, anyway. Whatever these gem-shaped people are, it's clear that many of them look like members of the same species. It's a colorful group, but the details that had looked strange and off somehow on individuals are the same for many of them. Most of them seem unaggressive, if not outright friendly, but even still...
Phos is definitely the weird one here. And not even for the usual reasons.
They hover for a while, self-consciously gripping one golden arm with the other while they try to hop in on the conversation where they can, but eventually they fall quiet. Frowning, they scan the trees and ruins surrounding the group, and at a moment when everyone seems wrapped up in something else they peel away from the group and head back in. Cairngorm is still missing, after all. They could be looking for their partner instead of awkwardly hanging around here trying not to sound like they're as confused about everything everyone is saying as they are.
They don't get terribly far. Once they've gotten a good distance away, there's that sensation again from when they were getting elepoeted around randomly, and with a yelp they suddenly find themself stumbling in a new spot.
Or. An old spot. Back with the group in that same clearing.
Phos stares at everyone for a moment before sighing heavily and just...dropping to sit on the group and flopping onto their back.]

Ugh. Fine. I give up.
