Pooh & Ardynis
Pooh
Do you ever read old stories about the forest? I find it wonderful how a simple tale can feel like a secret waiting to be discovered.
Ardynis
I do, though I read them for the clues they hide. A forest tale is just a map of secrets, and every leaf holds a line of a strategy waiting to be read.
Pooh
I see what you mean. In my books the clues sometimes hide in plain sight, but I also enjoy letting the quiet of the forest settle around me as I read.
Ardynis
The quiet does a kind of spell, doesn't it? It lets you hear the forest’s own footfalls, and those whispers often carry the clues you seek.
Pooh
You're right, the quiet can feel like a gentle spell, inviting the forest to share its secrets. I often pause to listen, and I feel as though the trees are whispering stories just for me.
