017 - Feet to the Sky

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[Since the labyrinth was such a well received addiction to the Plane Reinette has returned -- with a new escort of sorts. A strong, sturdy tree, though that is only part of the story. Attached to it is a wide, carved wooden swing. There is a rope attached to it as well, designed to prevent the user from swinging too high. Though that hangs rather uselessly to the side. Reinette is in the swing, gently pushing it back and forth with a single satin shoe as she looks up at the stars]

It's a very nice tree. Very healthy.

[a pause]

I guess the view from up here is much nicer when the tree's in wherever it normally is, instead of just here. Not that it isn't nice, looking at stars! But it's sorta the same from up here as it is from down there.

Perhaps the tree favors the change in scenery?

Would you like me to ask it for you?

[oh, but she is interested now]

You can speak to the plants and trees?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

A little. More like... I can get an impression of what they're feeling. Emotionally speaking, I mean.

[she is nothing if not curious]

How?

[struggling to come up with an accurate way to describe it]

Well I just... do, really. I can feel it, same as they can. Don't know how to explain it, really. Everything's connected; guess I'm just a little more connected to everything else than most people.
