With all of the bird pokemon scattering, Eve seems to want to follow after Flynn, much like Bill, but she is waiting for her trainer's orders.

Flynn's Actions Flynn puts his hands up in a placating gesture and speaks very slowly, trying to calm the girl down.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I don't know if you can understand me, but I promise I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a stranger here, and I'd just like to talk." He sees the bow and looks back at her. "I'm going to give you the bow now. I would... appreciate it if you didn't attack me with it."
He slowly moves behind the bow. When he's far enough behind it that he can reach it with his fingertips, but not hold it, he crouches down and pushes it towards the girl. Once it's within her reach, he backs off.

For Flynn As you move closer, she presses her back further against the tree trunk, trying to stay as far away as possible. She looks at you warily as you push the bow towards her, as if suspicious of your motives, all the while breathing heavily. As you back away from the bow, she eyes you up carefully before slowly moving forward and snatching up the bow, fumbling it a little, and clutching it to her chest. Looking at you, she says something utterly foreign to your ears. It was clearly speech, but you don't recognize the series of sounds and clicks. It sort-of sounds like:
"Nya'ta cha'k'te."
As she says this, she stares at you, her breathing calming slightly now that her weapon has been returned.

Flynn's Actions Flynn stays at the same distance from the girl and slowly sits down, cross-legged, on the ground so as to be as non-threatening as possible.
"I can't understand what you're sayin'," he says, still speaking slowly, "and I assume you can't understand me?"
He thinks for a minute. This is really the sort of thing the smart people in the group should be handling. Still not sure of what to do, he figures they might as well start from basics.
Keeping one hand up, he points to himself. "Flynn. My name... is Flynn. He says, emphasizing the word so she would hopefully understand. He then gestures gently to her, silently asking for her name.
(If you want me to roll any more charm rolls, just say so.)

For Flynn ((The way I'm doing things now, based on your post I set a DC for an intuition check to see if she understands you. If you want to try and charm her to help calm her down or what have you, go for it. Do whatever Flynn would do.))
She watched Flynn curiously as he sat down cross legged in front of him. She scooted a little closer toward him, getting her back away from the tree, and cocked her head sideways at him, brushing her hair out of her face and behind her ear. She pointed at him.
"Fl...Flynn...," she repeated, some clear difficulty on the 'F' sound.
She put her hand over her heart. "S'ic now'min Leeta. Leeta," she said, looking at him.
Around this time, back in the clearing, there was a loud cracking noise and a woman's cry coming from the direction Flynn had run off in.

Flynn's Actions "Leeta." Flynn repeats, pointing at the girl. He gives a gentle smile - it looks like they're getting somewhere.
Unfortunately, where to go from here he's not sure. What I need, he thinks, is some kind of common grou... Ground! He looks to the ground, having an idea. He doesn't know if it's a good idea, but it's worth a shot.
Moving slowly, he uses his finger to draw large, crude pictures in the dirt, facing away from him so that Leeta can see them. First, he draws a stick figure, then draws a rough line around the top of it's head, resembling his hat. He then points to his hat to make it clear, then points the figure then himself. "Flynn." he says.
He then draws another figure next to it, then draws several lines down from its head, resembling long hair. He points to it, then to Leeta. "Leeta." He says.
Finally, he gently erases and redraws the figures' arms so it looks like they're holding hands. He points to the arms, hoping it gets his point across, then looks at Leeta and says slowly, "Friends."

Bill head snaps at the sudden sound and he walks off into the forest towards it, curiosity once again overcoming his carefulness. Shaking his head, he mutters to himself: "I am going to hate myself for this, am I not?"
He turns his head for a moment to the others. "Are you coming too? I would certainly like some help if it turns out this is in fact a very dumb idea."

For Flynn She smiled as Flynn said her name.
As Flynn started drawing stick figures in the dirt she looked at him quizzically.
"Dat'ra?," she said, looking at it curiously. When he pointed and said his name, she looked like she realized what he meant. "Ah! F-Fflynn s'an dat'ra," she said, having trouble with the 'F' again. Then she watches as he draws her. "Leeta s'an dat'ra," she says confidently, following along.
Then Flynn draws the two together, holding hands. Leeta looks embarrassed and hurriedly erases the picture. "Na'ne, na'ne!," she says hurriedly before launching into more of her native tongue, too fast to follow. The orange freckles in her cheeks seemed to be brighter than before, almost as if she were blushing...

Flynn's Actions Seeing her face, Flynn suddenly realises how that could have been interpreted. He claps a hand over his mouth, looking mortified, then waves his hands in a "no" gesture.
"No, no, I didn't mean..." He pauses, trying to recall what she said. "Na'ne" he says, holding up a finger as he thinks. He cups his hands, fingers apart, then pushes them together a couple of times to represent... what she presumably thought he meant. He then immediately waves his hands in a "no" gesture again. "No, not that, not what I meant..." He trails off, again thinking about how to convey friendship without conveying... that.
After a few seconds, he draws a pair of stick figures, not them this time, in a fight, one punching the other. He points to the picture. "Enemies." He say, then, once she's got a good look at it, draws a big X through it. "Na'ne" He says, hoping it means "No" as he scrubs out the picture. "Na'ne Enemies." He then indicates the two of them, then gestures to his mouth to indicate Talking, then puts his hands to indicate no weapons or fighting. "Friends." He says.

For Flynn Leeta seemed to calm down, watching with a puzzled look as he failed his arms about. She looked thoroughly confused by his hand gesture, but when he started flailing again she couldn't help but giggle. She smiled and nodded at him. "Na'ne," she agreed.
As he went back to the stick figures, though, she looked thoroughly confused. "Eh...neh...mees?," she said, unsure. "Eh...neh. ..mees," she said again, more confidently, punching the ground. "Leeta 'e Fff-lynn na'ne eh-neh-mees," she said with a nod. "Fff-lynn na'ne 'e Tsook," she said with a confident nod.
She stared at him for a long while. The silence became somewhat awkward as she just stared at him with a smile on her face. She broke the silence after a little while. "Fffriends. Fffriends na'ne mah're," she said, shaking her head exaggeratedly. She brushed her hair out of her face, back behind her ears. "Fffriends 'e cha'te," she said, grabbing her forearms with her hands. It almost looked like she was giving herself a 'warrior's handshake'.
"Cha'te na'ne eh-neh-mees. Na'ne Tsook," she said with an eager nod to Flynn.
