[Amber: 003]
[Someone has enough energy to address the amber today! Yoshitsugu has recovered from his illness for the most part, just needing a little more rest to get his energy levels back up; right now he is in fact still in bed, lacking his usual hat but with facecloth still firmly in place. He wants to offer some advice to the tree, though considering it's him giving it? It's not necessarily offered in a straightforward way.]
The magic of this world is interesting, isn't it? And dangerous. Something to remember if you wish to take part in any future quests which lead you outside of the mist; you never know when the flow will deliver you to a malevolent being who might decide to reach deep into your heart and soul, tear at old wounds and drag your weaknesses to the surface so it might attack them in a cruel yet extremely precise way, leaving you awash in nightmares and haunted by the most painful and unsettling of memories.
[It's certainly said calmly; Yoshitsugu's expression doesn't betray much either, remaining serene except, for those really, really looking closing, when he says 'painful.' The flinch is slight, but real.]
Or you might simply have a quiet and pleasant journey.
[Moving on to better things and a more pleasant memory, Yoshitsugu relaxed against the back of his bed a little more; his smile isn't visible, of course, but the pleasure he feels when recalling this memory shows in his eyes.]
The most interesting magic was that which brought chocolate cake to us. Those of you who come from a time and place where you can eat it whenever you like are very fortunate.

[...which is definitely not Yoshitsugu saying it's not something that might happen. Some in the tree are quire prepared to take that kind of 'risk' if it nets them another portion of cake.]
Whatever gave us cake can surely provide other food.

Yeah, I agree. It's like the bacon and egg we bought a few months ago, too.

[Yoshitsugu actually laughs quietly then.]
The presence in this tree is as a parent teaching its children, using treats to encourage us to do the 'right' things.

[ Kind of how a person treats a dog. ]

[He closes his eyes and hums softly.]
But this is more complex than a simple kind of servant and master relationship. This entity is willing to bring life back to the dead and draw souls from other worlds in order to reach towards whatever goal it has. It is in a kind of desperate need, dependent on us.

[Yoshitsugu taps his facecloth once, twice.]
Time may reveal the answer... or it may not. We will see.

[Yoshitsugu hums thoughtfully. He knows what he is saying rarely makes a difference, but when does that ever stop him? If he wants to speak, he does. Simple as that.]
Deal with each day as it comes.

[Ha. Most people are the same, aren't they? Yoshitsugu wishes, sometimes, he was like those 'most.']
If your chance to return comes along, use it, take it. But know that dwelling on something you can do nothing about will not help those you left behind. Better to be in good, calm, fighting condition for when your opportunity comes.

[ Seeing her friends die is painful and she doesn't want any of that. ]
... I guess you're right.
