[charmedillusion]

Doctor? May I ask you a question?

...Several, to be precise.

Hello, Sarah.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

Well, that was unexpected. Hi, Caspian.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

I am no doctor. Is that disappointing?

audio;

[charmedillusion]

Yes. I can't talk to you anymore.

...Kidding, of course. Where are you, at home? Out?

audio;

[treadingdawn]

You are joking.

At home for now.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

I am, of course. As if I could ever turn you away.

Good, because it doesn't seem so very safe outside today...

audio;

[treadingdawn]

I know, I have kept Destrier at the stables. And you?

audio;

[charmedillusion]

I was out, but only for a bit, and I came right back.

There's something wrong today. Something feels off.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

A man I met recently had said that the forest is ill.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

Ill? How so?

audio;

[treadingdawn]

He said the trees seem sad and desperate.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

That's a very poetic way of phrasing it.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

I believe he meant it.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

I'd believe him. Everything seems wrong today - darker, even.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

Stay out of the woods and no harm will come to you.

audio;

[charmedillusion]

I won't go anywhere near them today, I promise.

But still, it's hard to forget this feeling. It's like the entire City is oppressed.
