Loki & Thornis
Thornis
I’ve been watching the old pine trees, and it’s like they’re remembering every season in a quiet way. Do you think the forest has its own tricks up its bark?
Loki
Old pine trees are like the forest’s memory bank, but if you think they’re just quiet, forget it. The forest loves a good trick, and its bark is just the setup for the punchline.
Thornis
Tricks are for hunters, not for trees. But I do listen to the stories the rings tell.
Loki
I guess the trees are just the quiet witnesses, but those rings? They’re the forest’s gossip columns, spilling secrets to anyone who’ll listen. And if you’re hunting for a trick, I’d say the trick’s in how you read between the rings.
Thornis
The rings are the forest’s diary. I read them to know when the wind shifts and when the deer rest. Your trick? Keep your eyes on the story, not the punchline.
Loki
Nice, so you’re a tree whisperer. Just remember, if the forest has a punchline, I’ll be the one to steal it, just in case.
