[ Y'ALL WANTED A POST FOR TREE~~FUCKING~~

COMMENT WITH SETTINGS I CAN ROLL WITH ANYTHING ]

...Do you maybe want to take this somewhere that isn't in the middle of the street?

[ open, unbothered laughter ]

I don't mind it like this! But there is something you should know about the demons in this land, sir, if you don't about us yet.

All right. Just keep in mind that some of my abilities aren't exactly typical of my kind, and I'm stronger than most.

I can heal at expense of my own energy and fly and generate weapons from myself. Also shapeshift, though I mostly stick to this form. It's most comfortable.

Past that I'm a good staff fighter, and fast.

[ considering... ]

Is it easy for you to become corrupted? If you say you are stronger than most, then if you should become ensnared by the forces seeking to destroy the forest, it will be rather troublesome for everyone involved.

You're the first I've met around here. What is it?

Following me home unaccompanied when I didn't know you were there! Yeah, that's not gonna get you kidnapped at all!

If you mean by dark magic or miasma, yeah. It's happened before.

We have no restraint.

Won't you tell me what you're like? I'm so curious.

... I see.

But you were able to recover from it, I assume.

Nope. Died. Anything else?

[well that's promising]

There are a lot of different kinds of demons where I'm from, and spirits, and ghosts. The lines blur.

How are they made?

I don't think they're "made"...

[ ... well that is

unfortunate ]

I'm sorry.

S'fine. Apparently something about me makes gods pretty interested with throwing me at their causes, so I got plucked from death that way a time or two.

[ I'm waiting for you to explain?? ]

Well... I was born when my progenitor died and one of his cuttings was planted? Since I'm a tree spirit. But some are just animals that lived a long time, or the ghosts of people or things with grudges, and some just kind of happen on their own.

I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been. Being someone's puppet is no way to live.

[shrugs]

I got over it.

[ did you really get over it

did you... ]

Thank you, for your time. If there is nothing you wish to ask me, you are free to go.

Weren't you just angry at me for bringing a bodyguard into this neighborhood?

[YES, MOSTLY. he isn't taking the opportunity to bitch about it at length, which says a lot.]

Is there anything you'd like me to tell the master of the forest? Most of my kind avoid dealing with humans where they can, so I might be back.

I'm mad at you for following me at all, but both are shit situations!

[ nodding ]

Only to please be careful, and to know that he will always have an ally in me. In these troubled times, it is best to lean on each other, I believe.

[ will you be okay WALKING ALONE THROUGH HIS CITY WITH ALL THOSE HUMANS LOOKING AT YOU ]

[gets a kind of funny look on his face, then nods.]

I'll let her know.

Do you want your jacket back?
