Taupi is a brave and generous friend, who cares for those who care for others.  But, as a creature who has lived for so long, he has little attention for the immediate or the pressing; his short-term memory is patchy at best (he may, indeed, forget his new-found friends).

 A typical encounter with Taupi, by those who know him well, begins with them reminding him who they are.
