commandertoolbelt: (this must be what going mad feels like)

Uh, the first time we had less than a day to get ready for it. For the Great Prophecy... a little less than six months.

Then I guess I can see why you wouldn't feel ready. Byakuroku told me about how it would be my duty to protect the ayakashi in my forest since I was really little, and to support my brother. He told me I had to grow into a strong tree so the little bird could rest in my branches.
commandertoolbelt: (I don't like where this is going)

What, the whole forest? Isn't that a lot for one person?

Maybe, but I'm not a person, am I?

No. Nope. Trees are people, too.

And what about your brother - shouldn't he have been helping out, too?

... Well that's just it. It's the tree spirit's job to watch over the forest, but they have other ayakashi that serve them. My father was that for my predecessor, for example. So my brother will help me, yeah.
commandertoolbelt: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
...It really is a lot different for you than it is for the dryads back home, huh.

[ tree spirit politics... leo isn't sure he really gets it. ]

That still going to be a thing if you get your wish, though?

[He blinks.]

Huh. I guess not.
[He visibly does not know what to think about this!]
commandertoolbelt: (let's be reasonable here)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-17 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ you really didn't think that far did you, tree. leo looks amused. ]

Don't worry about it too much just yet. We can probably find some animal rights activists for you to blend in with, no sweat.

[He was preoccupied with his immediate plans of punching people he forgot about the long term.]

Animal rights.... I guess with no ayakashi around that's what humans are taking advantage of?
[Leo may have said it as a joke but it seems like perhaps a good idea.]

There are a lot of things that humans take advantage of. You'll have plenty to do.

[He seems satisfied with this proposed career track for himself.]

Even if I don't have a forest to protest anymore, that doesn't mean I can't still help protect others of my own choice. And whatever my brother needs help with too, I guess I can also do that.
commandertoolbelt: (chuckling)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-17 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he gets a smile for that. ]

Yeah, you'll be fine. Don't even worry about it.
