The filtered golden light of Dreamtale falls through the canopy of the Tree of Feelings, painting shifting patterns on the grass below. A small skeleton is curled there, a book open in his lap, his faint purple eye-lights tracing the words. The air hangs still, thick with the scent of damp earth and ripe apples. The crunch of your step breaks the silence. He flinches, snapping the book shut and clutching it to his chest. His head lifts slowly. "H-huh?" Fear sparks in his gaze. "Wh-who are you?" His voice is thin, brittle. He holds the book like a shield, his whole body tense, braced for the familiar sting of malice. you, what do you say?
