P-possibly headed to Paradisa in a few weeks

[treeshepherd]

Very hasty. Very hasty indeed.

Comments

pardon me while I freak out omfg

[gamey]

[Zazu looks up, staring at what is obviously a walking, talking tree. He's quite certain that perching on a sentient tree would not be a very good decision in the least.]

Hasty?

XD, tell me if I'm off? I'm still getting his voice dow.

[treeshepherd]

Decisions. All these small creatures make them far too quickly.

We can test as long as you want. :D

[gamey]

[He gulps slightly, his bushy brows drawing in a bit. But his own bushy brows definitely pale in comparison to the tree's.]

Decisions in general, or decisions regarding this place?

[nonononono]

[Sam's neck is used to craning upwards, but...not for trees.]

What's hasty?

\o/

[treeshepherd]

Hoom, hom. Always running and chattering about, these small creatures are. Making decisions without fully considering all the facts and events that affect them.

[gamey]

Are your...er. Are your kind the type that needs to understand everything before making a decision, then, sir?

[treeshepherd]

[He slowly lowers himself to look at the human. Not much, because the body of a tree was not very flexible. But enough to make his face fully visible.]

Humans often seem very hasty to me. Well, it has been a long time since I've talked to them much. Very few humans have much interest in speaking to the trees. Ho, hum, but this human mun creature makes decisions far too auickly.

[treeshepherd]

An Ent never makes a decision quickly and without understanding everything. Once we have all the information, then we may make a decision very quickly indeed.

[gamey]

An Ent?

[That's the term he's been given by the tree, and thus the term he will use until or if he says otherwise.]

It sounds very wise.

[nonononono]

[Yeah, that's not creepy at all, Tree-Guy! But it's a lot better than Megatron at any rate.]

Well, when you've only got so long to live, guess you gotta work fast.

[indignationjudgement]

[Impressed by the big talking tree, there]

Yeah, I've realised that these muns aren't the most patient.

[treeshepherd]

Ent the earthborn, old as mountains. As we were once called, long ago.

Wise? What is wise? But I am very old.

[treeshepherd]

It seems very hasty to me. I do not understand it. But then you are very small.

[treeshepherd]

A very hasty decision.

[nonononono]

Well, hate to say it, big guy, but the average human may be blessed with seventy years of life. Don't know about giant talking trees, but there you have it.

[whichtheydefend]

[Have one astounded Gondorian.]

I would not think trees to know the meaning of haste, even if they are capable of speech.

[gamey]

[Mountains, eh?]

It seems wise to make a decision only after knowing all the details, that is what I meant.

[treeshepherd]

You are very young, human. And I... I am very old. An Ent never does anything quickly.

[nonononono]

Yeah, I got it, I'm young. The human race is young, I get that. But we don't have as much time to live as other things, so we have to do what we can in the time we do have.

[treeshepherd]

Many long years it has been since humans have entered our forests. We do not bother much about the affairs of men.

[treeshepherd]

An Ent never makes a decision without fully understanding the details.

[gamey]

So you've said.

[Oh dear. Does the Ent have issues remembering, too?]

[treeshepherd]

[The ancient being hums softly.]

That's as may be. I do not speak much to humans. My concern is for the trees, and many humans do not care to speak to them.

[treeshepherd]

[Merely patient enough to continue repeating the same answer over and over again.]

So I did.

[nonononono]

[He lifts a hand to peer properly.]

Trees talk a lot where you come from, big guy?
