Darius would give a friendly wave hello back, but wouldn't go any closer unless he was signaled to do so. They might be performing some sort of religious ceremony, and one that is best left undisturbed. he would also take a brief glance back at camp to make sure nothing was encroaching on it.
Upon seeing your wave, the guy hops over the little wall and walks to about the halfway point between your two positions. He waves again and signals for you to come closer. For what it's worth, you can't see any kind of weapons on his person.
You also take a brief glance back at the camp and your surroundings. Everything is quiet, save for the low snoring of the knight.

You roll an apple over to it. It looks at it curiously, pokes at it a few times with his beak, then loses interest completely. You throw it some beef jerky next, and it snaps it our of the air and gobbles it up.
The guards have left for town, so unless your go in the same direction and run to catch up with them, they aren't going to bother you. Still, there's an old baby carriage overturned in the corner. You could use one of the drapes as a blanket to cover it up, for sure.
"It is a magnificent tree, Lady. I'm honoured to see it. The young rhino told me of an evil deep in the forest. What is it, and what is the venerable elder tree's relation to it? You see, I am not entirely sure how it came to be that I am here, and I am wondering if I was pulled... Anyway, do you know of this evil?"
"Yes, I am its guardian." She points over at the large tree
"In the Elder tree ancient heroes have trapped a primordial evil. The tree saps its power and uses it to nourish the lands around it, bringing prosperity and fertile ground to all. So long as the tree exists, its terrible power will endanger this world no more."
