[Zoro doesn't even notice the earth spirit, blending in with the trees as she does. He didn't actually intend to end up near them anyway, it's completely on accident. He's lost, thanks to getting separated from the hunting party. He'll find his way back to them on his own, but meanwhile...
There's a chattery fox-fire crossing his path, and he can't help but stop and stare. There's a lot about it that evokes memory: the Mera-Mera Fruit, Foxfire Kin'emon, and his own building wish to learn to cut fire the way he can stone and steel. But he wouldn't cut something that can speak for itself and isn't a threat.
Instead, he just stops in his tracks and cocks his head, looking at the strange sight.]
