Was that... actually a laugh that he was failing to keep silent? Yes, yes it was; something about this was actually funny to him. "And here I thought you already knew. Well... I can confirm that my appearance is unique... at least, as far as I am aware."
He tried to quit smiling, to at least seem a little more serious. The effort was only partially successful. "I suppose it was never common practice to replace so much of one... but it did happen, and several times over, in fact, until this one. It is built of the ents, which talk of those fruits reminded me, and thank you for that... but I was born of the elves, brother. Not grown on some branch."
A little hesitation, the smile returning as he rolled his eyes at his own statement there. "Ah... well... not originally."
