Ending the debate with a wink, the Veeti hovers over to the center of the grove and sends an impatient glance your way. “Come.”

You begin to politely tell her you’re spoken for when you feel an invisible rope tug you towards her! Ooooh… right! Joining the winged witch in front of what must be the source of the sickeningly-sweet smell savaging your senses, you feel the rope slacken as Mieslee sends a sweet smile your way!

“Something for something, nothing for nothing! You’ve done me a service, now let me repay it in kind, Anton dear~”

It’s nothing, you shrug as a sheepish grin creeps across your face, you just grabbed a plant and-

“And humble too! Don’t debase your deeds, dearie… errand boys are hard to come across in this neck of the woods!” Her smile dips a bit. “And it can get dreadfully lonely too…”

Rising above you, the weariness in the Veeti’s voice is replaced with renewed vigor! “This grove oozes life, Anton… primordial power predating language and culture!”

Dipping down to meet your gaze, the Lady of the Grove studies your stare with a hint of amusement in her eyes!

“Tell me: what would you say is your greatest weakness?”

What say ye?
>I could be STRONGER…
>I could stand to be more RESILIANT…
>I wish I was QUICKER…
>I’m not as SMART as I’d like to be…
>I’d like to be better at COMMUNICATING…
>Well, um… CHICKS…
>My weaknesses make me strong, actually!
>Actually, I have a question or two for ya.
>If it’s not too much to ask, could I get some PERFUME of this grove stuff?
>Write-In!

Phew! Sorry, all! Got ambushed with a surprise fishing outing last night and there were chores to be done this morning! My bad!
