In the Forest

We got off our horses and walked along, holding them by their reins as we went deeper into the forest. There didn’t seem to be any monsters at the entrance to the forest, so we could have left the horses there to rest, but all of them seemed to want to join us, so we let them enjoy the forest with us.

A little deeper in we were met by all-new scenery thanks to the chill that we’d been hit with. All the trees were losing their leaves or otherwise fading in color, and the forest was filled with an air of desolation. I didn’t think it was all that much to look at, but the twins only saw yet another side of the forest that they loved. They thrust the reins of their horses at me and started running and jumping around together with Aymer.

But they weren’t just having a good time. They’d also brought some coal with them, and they put it to use by writing messages for me on the trees. It was something they’d been doing for a little while now.

Okay to cut down, don’t cut down, make into timber, no good for timber, cut this one down and leave it, cut this one down then cut it into smaller pieces so it can return to the earth more easily...

Anyway, it was a lot of notes like that.

Among these tree-scribbled orders, I found a couple I hadn’t seen before: cut down soon, and take home and make into timber today.

“These ones here,” I said to the girls, who were traipsing around and stomping on the fallen leaves, “the ones you said I should cut down soon and the ones we should take home today; I guess I should do these now?”

“Do it later!” said Senai.

“When we go home!” added Ayhan.

“We don’t know how much we’ll have yet!”

“We’ll decide when we have a better idea of things!”

The twins threw leaves up in the air and covered each other’s faces with them, and they laughed and laughed. Aymer was watching from a distance, and when she saw them laughing, she started laughing too. Their laughter echoed across the forest as we proceeded further in, and then all of a sudden Senai and Ayhan realized something and stopped in their tracks. They went to a nearby tree and wrote “Do not enter!”

They wrote the words real big so they jumped out at you. They made it seem like a warning about some kind of danger, but the girls looked as bright and bubbly as usual. I was puzzled by the contrast of their message and their behavior, so I decided I’d ask, but as soon as I took a step forwards—

“Stop right there!” they shouted in unison.

So I stopped, and the horses stopped, and the twins suddenly turned serious and ran on over, looking like a mother set to scold a naughty child.

“You can’t go past this point! No tree chopping either!” said Senai.

“And no horses! Everyone stays out!” added Ayhan.
