Happy Little Trees

Oh, whoops. Raba whirled around quite quickly; did she scare the young woman? She certainly didn't mean to! Either way, Váli was quickly greeted with a smile, and she returned it quite happily. She nodded to Raba's words; it certainly made sense! Perhaps she ought to explore a little, too. "That's a fantastic idea, Raba," she praised with a grin. "It certainly is nice that the forest came back. When I was younger, there was nothing here - things were only just starting to grow back. It's flourished so well in such a short amount of time - and it's beautiful here. It's quite peaceful." Váli sighed happily, turning away from Karabela to stare up at the trees and the colorful petals. Raba's question made her chuckle, and she glanced back at the young woman again. "Not entirely," she admitted. "I came here mostly for the beauty. It's been so long since I've wondered." She smiled sadly, looking around once more, before sighing quietly. Too long.
