[Above's been in an unhappy mood and doesn't really want to write. But she hasn't seen anyone else mention it, so...]

Go look at the Wilderness.

[Quite a bit later.]

Has this ever happened before?

Haven't seen it. Maybe the Adventurers know.

I have not heard about anything like this, and I know it has not happened since I have lived here.

Yeah.

You mean the green field? It's really weird. I'm not sure if it's a good sing or a bad one.

Yeah.

Notice the islands?

I did--Hawk mentioned it, and I went down to look for myself. But the view from up here is just the same.

Weird, huh?

Really weird. What do you think of it?

[Her writing is a bit slow.]

I don't know.

You?

[a lot of curlicues.]

I think it's better that there's something there now. But I'm not sure it's the Wilderness anymore.

Yeah.

[you are speaking kind of oddly right now Above...]

How have you been, by the way?

[Pause.]

Fine.

I like it! It's peaceful. But it's weird how I can't reach the islands not matter how hard I try.

I can't either.

I'd like it better if there were bodies of water.

It is much better than the empty, I think!

Guess so.

Unsettling, though.

How so?

The elevator's set in the Tree.

It has always been a part of the Tree... Unless I am missing something else about it.

In the Wilderness.

Yes. That is how one gets to the Wilderness and back. The elevator. In the Tree.

Gai.

Go to the Wilderness. Look at the elevator from there.

Yes.

So you now see the Tree. But the Wilderness has always been watched and never been safe. It was an illusion that the Tree was not there before. This is not a big thing.

So you don't think this is remarkable.

At all.

It could be remarked upon! But it is not a surprise.

...This is dismaying.

Yeah.

You can't get up there from down there. Everyone's there, though.

Everyone's there? You mean, in the floating city? I fear my eyes are not as sharp as yours.

I can fly. And yeah, all the usual people are on bridges and islands and whatnot.

That is passing strange. Thank you for telling us, though.

It's almost like it's resolved into what it should be. [He's not sure what he makes of it, but for the most part he thinks he's okay with it.]

Maybe.

Makes more sense than it all being different, at least.

[His writing is very slow, and to the sharp eye, a little shaky.]

Thank you for calling attention to it.

Sure.

May I ask how far up you have attempted to go?

Far as I could. The winds aren't really favorable.

Branches, though.

I understand. I shall not ask you to risk yourself.

Go on and ask. It doesn't matter . [There's a suspicious markerblot which may have been an abortive 'a'.]

It matters very much to me.

[There's a checkmark here as a response.]
