He's been following her for a few minutes, not wanting to disrupt her rapture at the cave and its natural beauty, himself getting lost in it a little, light reflected over surfaces and his skin, making everything look slightly ethereal.
He stays hidden in shadows around the mouth of the small cave Clarice has entered for a moment, a pleased smile growing on his face as she hears him anyway - she can say what she wants, but some of his teachings definitely got through to her.
He steps forward, into the crystalline light, and shakes his head. ]
