[ he's got his hands on his hips when they arrive, squinting up at the figure inside the tree. ]
The place feels kinda... special? Hallow ground feelin', y'know? So I'm kinda hopin' we don't try to set it on fire like we did everythin' last Thursday, 'cause I don't want this person wakin' up, if they can, and rainin' hell on our heads for messin' up the place.
[ he waits patiently, before nodding, slow and thoughtful. ]
I'll let people know. There's also that spigot, there, but I dunno if we actually want to mess with the, uh, contents..? Or if they - [ gestures at tree and person ] - are alright with us takin' from 'em.
alfyn isn't usually the kind of person that eats things he doesn't know, but he'll carefully pull out a vial he got from looting this place to take a little sample from the spigot. ]
... oh! Oh, wow. Huh. I think it's a healin' tonic.
[ considering he's refused the swamp his healing CYOA injuries are still healing. he looks at the vial, then up at the tree, thoughtful. with his free hand, alfyn sets it carefully against the bark. ]
Thank you for the bounty. I'll definitely try to keep people from causin' trouble here.
[ he gives the tree a small pat, before filling the vial again and corking it. he has a feeling they'll need it. it's just that he won't take much from the symbiotic creepy tree. ]
Really no way to prepare for what we're gonna see, that's for sure.
Is this more the kinda place you're used to? Or are you more like, I dunno. Cam and Tot, who were pretty familair with the stuff in the last place?
Where I'm from is more technologically advanced than here, but it's... also like this? It's a bit hard to describe, since it also depends on what country you're in.
Huh... that's pretty wild soundin'. How many countries do you have back home, that there's so much difference..? Places in Orsterra don't have that much of a difference - just less stuff in villages versus cities.
A bunch! The one I currently live in, for example, is known for scientific advancement and be a leader in pioneering for research.
But then there are others where they've secluded themselves... one really recently started to be open to more tech. They got a train a few years back, which I have no idea if you know what that is or not.
Oh, wow - do they do any sharin' of that research, or are they more closed off..? One of the kingdoms of Orsterra only just kinda got more open within the past few years, 'cause of the queen takin' over.
It can lower the time spent to days, even hours if the countries are close enough. Of course, not all terrain is suitable for it, but it does help. I'm sure there might be books on it in that library...
Maybe when you go home, you can suggest they make some!
I'll have to go look... there's been so many things I wanted to take a look at. I figured I'd grab a book on gardenin' so I could actually get to plantin' those seeds, anyways.
[ but... ]
I'm hopin' there'll be a lot of things I can take home.

You get a feel for the magic?

[ there's a pause, before they walk over to the tree a place a hand on it. ]
... they wish to be left in peace. They're caring for each other.

As long as we try not to be too rough.

Hmmm. Either something bad or something funny.

Pretty neat how different all these places have been, right? We never know what will turn up.

Mmhm. They move much faster than cars though.

[ he's trying to imagine a train back home, now. ]
It takes months, sometimes, to get from one end of Orsterra to the other... how quick can that kinda thing make goin' from country to country?
