Um, he wasn't super receptive the first time. He really didn't like answering my questions, but I've been bringing him food, so I guess that softened him up a little! Food makes everyone happy, after all. [ It wasn't the food, babe. ] But then I just talked with him a bit and he let me go into that cabin to go get something for him, and then he was pretty okay with me.

Assuming you're cool with it, of course! If not, I can always try to help Mister Callan some other way...
