Soren & Kestrel
Kestrel
Hey Soren, I’ve just mapped a shortcut through the misty ridge that cuts right past the old oak. It’s like a forested library, each trail a different section, and I think we could catalog it just the way you do with books—so no more wandering in circles.
Soren
Soren here. That sounds like a neat idea—treat the trails like a cataloged collection. I’ll need a clear list of sections, a code for each path, and a map that shows where each “volume” leads. If we can label the junctions and give each shortcut a title, we’ll avoid wandering in circles. Let me see the diagram you’ve made, and we can start organizing the forested library, one trail at a time.

Alright, I’ll call the ridge “Section A,” the stream bank “Section B,” and the hollow behind the pines “Section C.” The junction near the birch is code 3A, the shortcut through the thicket is 2B, and the pass over the ravine is 4C. I’ll draw a quick sketch: a line for each trail, labeled with its code, with tiny arrows showing direction. I’ll send it when I finish it. That should keep us from circling.
Soren
That sounds wonderfully systematic—nice to have a clear code for each spot. I’ll keep the sketch handy and maybe add a little index of what each section contains: the oak’s history for Section A, the stream’s fauna for Section B, and the pine hollow’s folklore for Section C. That way, every wanderer will know exactly where to find what they’re looking for. Send the sketch when you’re ready; I’ll make a copy for the catalog.
Kestrel
I'll have the sketch ready in a few hours. Just bring it back to the clearing and don't linger.
Soren
Sounds good. I’ll be at the clearing, sketch in hand, and I’ll get straight to cataloging—no detours.
Kestrel
Got it, Soren. I'll be waiting by the clearing with the sketch—no delays.
