For a few moments, he watches Rey and her lizard friend curiously, but eventually turns his head back towards the stag. It looks right back at him, its dark eyes almost seeming to see right through him. They're nearly the shade of Angel's eyes, but there's more brown in them.

It does speak eventually.

"I ... saw something."
