Rodric met you on his way to the Ruins, and you perked his curiosity so much he stalked you after you left. I hope he didn't freak you out about that, and he was really sad to have to go. He'd like to know who you are, and hopes he can meet you again in the forest sometime.

PS: We still don't know who the adorable fawn is, and we'd really like to know them, too.
