I am. My name's Tsuyukusa.

... This may sound strange, but how are you feeling?

...Why do you ask?

[ ... ]

There have been several disturbances in the forest as of late. It is... we are taking care of the problem and doing all that we can, but there have been some casualties, both on my side and on yours.

I'm not a part of this forest. But I can pass along any messages for you, and offer you my help in battle if you want.

I would be grateful. I am glad to see you are safe, as well, and I hope you will continue to be so until this ordeal is over.

Where do you make your home, if you do not mind my asking?

I don't. I'm just passing through, mostly.

[wait can tree spirits even leave their trees that seems weird]

I see.

[ idk you're the tree spirit here not me ]

Then would you like to come home with me? There are a few more things I'd like to ask you, and I feel as though here may not be the best place.

[...not sure if being propositioned or not

oh well might as well roll with it.]

Sure, why not?

[ i gave you my jacket

if i wanted to proposition you i probably would have just left you naked lbr ]

Thank you. It's this way.

[ i guess we're going back to my place!! which really is just. a really big castle with a city inside so /o/ SURPRISE I AM A KING ]

[CHRIST THIS IS A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF HUMANITY THAN I SIGNED UP FOR

a little nervous, looking around eyes wide, shifting just a bit closer to Sigmund than he was walking previously.]

Gotta say I was envisioning a small village or something.

[ o-oh...

looking at him out of the corner of his eye, also he has his armor i totally forgot to say he put it back on before leaving but there is... that. ]

Are you all right?

[ it's probably gonna be worse because. well. king and all so there's a lot of attention and bowing and "LORD SIGMUND" everywhere ]

I'm fine.

[almost snapping, just a little testy, before lowering his voice so only Sigmund can hear.]

You're a king?

Does it bother you?

[ rather amused, honestly, though he's trying not to look it ]

I'm parading around town in only your jacket and I don't even have the consolation of having actually fucked you.

[ kind of a

that

wow. ]

If this is something you would like to amend, then...

I'm not entirely sure bringing a forest spirit to your castle and then banging him is an effective way to stay in good graces with your people, probably.

I have done worse things.

[ leading him up to the castle, and then inside, and there's a great foyer and tapestries and elegant hallways and the like. he leads him into a large room with chairs and couches, obviously intended to be a waiting area of some sort. ]

Would you like anything? Food? Drink?

[eying him a little strangely at that, but he'll save that question for a more private space, probably.]

Just water would be fine.

[nnnnot getting drunk in a town full of humans no thanks]

[ what would a drunk tree spirit even look like...

nodding, and then leaving the room to go fetch it for him. when he comes back he's considerably more dressed down, losing his armor in favor of modest-looking silk shirts of elaborate brocade. it's not quite peasant clothing, but it's less extravagant than it could have been.

OFFERING A GOBLET... ]

[he's perched on the back of a couch when Sigmund returns, bare feet swinging idly.

takes the goblet with a nod, eyes it critically, then shrugs and drinks anyway.]

Thanks.

[ it's just water

not to worry ]

Seating across from him, resting his hands on his knees. straight-backed, etc. etc., totally a monarch and all that.

just. waiting. for Tsuyukusa to be ready or whatever ]

[drinks all of it pretty fast, then sets the goblet aside and eyes him.]

What else did you want to know?

As a nature spirit, you doubtless have access to a vast array of abilities. Would you mind telling me about them?

I don't mind, but why do you want to know?
