Asphodel shuffled in the place awkwardly, walking in a circle, contemplating her answer. 'I leave the forest /ground/, I can morph into a butterfly.' She bit her lip, ears twitching she finally shook her head, 'I suppose I don't.. It's my home, my job, my sancuary, I see no need.' She pasued, 'I have left only in the heed of battles and wars.'

Issac nodded. "But do you know what happens outside of this forest?" It would suck pretty bad just knowing what's going on in your little bubble...

Asphodel pondered this, "Wherever there's plantation and forestry I can go, but only by my mind; physically I can't go too far from plantation, it drains me-" She stopped suddenly her lips were shut tight, why was she telling a stranger all of this?! Barely anyone but some students knew she existed, now she was blurting her weakness'. 'I suppose I don't in the city, they have no need for trees there' She sighed, as if waiting for the quick attack because of her stupid mouh. That's how her clan died away, they trusted someone too much.

Isaac nodded. "Well, are you able to be around the school grounds? Or even inside the school?" He asked her. For some reason Isaac felt peace around Asphodel... it was odd, something really new to him...

Asphodel nodded sadly, but surprised. 'I have a room there, dorms, you call them; but only when they need me to teach which is always outside classes. I prefer to stay in the forest, It's safer here' She smiled warmly at him. 'You..won't tell anyone what I just said will you?'

Isaac shook his head. "No... of course I won't. What you said is just between us." He told her, smiling.

Asphodels smile grew, lightly she moved across the grassy soil towards him, but she had nothing to say, her ears twitched in the breeze perked to the slightest of sounds; the trees were whispering to her. 'He's safe, I'm sure' she hushed them not taking her eyes off of Isaac. 'The forestry is worried about you' She mused.

"Worried?" Isaac asked. "Why would they be worried about me?"

'They feel you're in danger, spending too little time with the trees; and so much time aay from them. They mistake you for one like myself' Asphodel gave a reassuring smile, 'Nothing to worry about, they just protect those with earth drawn to them, you're the first this generation of trees has seen with the element.' She stoked the tree she was next to, 'They like you, but not the way you seem to detest them so'

Isaac sighed. "It seems a bit sudden to me. I mean, I meet you and you start telling me all this stuff... it's a lot to take in." He admited.

Asphodel jumped, 'Oh I'm, I'm sorry.. It's just, I-' She sighed with annoyance not being able to explain, 'If you'd like me to leave and continue your walk, I can. I don't want to hold you back.' She stumbled a few steps, well tip-toes back and stayed silent; as were the trees, 'I've wasted enough of your time anyway, I'm sure it'll be getting dark soon and your school would be misisng you.'

Isaac shook his head quickly. "No no! It's ok. I'm alright with it and everything... it's just a bit odd to me. It would take some time getting used to, but I'll manage." He said, grinning at her.

Asphodel tilted her head but returned the smile. 'Oh, well alright but I still think you should be getting back to school, the forestry isn't always the same safe haven as it is in the day.' She said, with a warning tone, but it was warm and kind.

"There are creatures here?" Isaac asked, scratching the back of his head. "Like what?"

Asphodel laughed, 'Yes and them. The shadows just aren't safe for you.' It was clear she refused to say more on the subject, she shifted uncomfortably where she stood, hair whistling gently with the cool breeze, sunset arriving.
