[liberare]

I came to see you. How are you, today?

[rootless]

Same as always. You?

[liberare]

Everything is fine on my end. Thank you.

[ looking around... ]

Do I still startle them? The spirits?

[rootless]

It'll take more than two visits for them to get used to you, you know. Old people are resistant to change, and they've of course never left this forest.

[liberare]

And the young ones tend to wander, and go as they please?

[ like you ]

[rootless]

No. We're bound to our trees. If we go too far, we kind of... Decay from the inside out. Over time, of course.

[liberare]

[ ............. ]

Your tree is here?

[ looking around like he'll spot a particularly tsunny tree somewhere ]

[rootless]

[A kind of defeated smile.]

No.

[liberare]

[ ... ]

So then... you are...?

[rootless]

My tree snapped in half around 200 years ago. I'm kind of an exception.

Sorry if I scared you.

[liberare]

[ well he does look relieved

a lot relieved, actually ]

There is no need to apologize.

[rootless]

[Oh shit I totally scared you]

I'm fine. I'll be fine. I have been fine for a long time. So don't worry, okay?

[liberare]

[ smiling over at him. ]

You must be very strong, as you said. I'm impressed.

[rootless]

... It's inherited, mostly.

[liberare]

Even so...

[ are you shy ]

What were your plans for today?

[rootless]

I don't really do plans...

[liberare]

Then would you care to spend the day with me?

[rootless]

Sure.

[liberare]

[ cool

GOING TO START WALKING THROUGH THE FOREST THEN ]

[rootless]

[ 'x' WALKS WITH]

[liberare]

[ it kind of looks like he knows where he's going

but then kind of... not..

because you've probably passed by that same tree a few times ]

[rootless]

[Eventually snorts and takes his hand.]

Are we trying for somewhere specific?

[liberare]

[ stopping... ]

Ah-- [ looking over, then ahead ]

The path to the town of Halgita. Is this not the way?

[rootless]

We're going in circles. That'd be this way.

[Some people actually know how to navigate a forest.]

[liberare]

[ oh

okay then

goinggg it really shouldn't be that far, and it's mostly... farmland and other quaint, old-village things ]
