[Case in point, they're joined by Jack, who walks up behind Stacia and Dan slowly, so Branch has plenty of time to see him.]
I found the guilty party. It was Bingle. [The Elf jingles up behind Jack and hides behind his leg, looking like he fully knows he's in trouble.]
[Jack crouches next to the other two humans there, so he's not towering.]
Bingle thought you were a toy. He and the other Elves are like little kids and I don't know about the kids of your species but human kids like to chew on things. We actually have to put age warnings on toys if they're choking hazards. The Elves are like that, too.
With the thinking you were a toy thing, it probably didn't help that I put you in the room of a dollhouse in the Infirmary. I was worried if I just left you on a bed on the ground you might get stepped on, or if I did it on a table or a ledge you might wake up and be too out of and fall off and get hurt.
Even despite that, Bingle [And here he turns and gives Bingle a stern look that makes the Elf cringe back slightly, not out of fear but out of shame] knows he's not allowed in the Infirmary without permission, but he saw me tuck you away through the doorway when we were fixing everyone up.
He thought I was playing with a cool toy so he decided to sneak in, in between between people checking on you, and take you for himself or at least play with you when no one was around.
