Wooden Mountains

With her necked craned in the way it was, she was surprised to not have noticed a wolf hiding among the branches before she spoke. Though, Aspen had to admit, it was a bit odd seeing a wolf so high off the ground, scampering across the branches like one of the squirrels. Still, the raven girl offered a smile as she walked closer to the other female. "I don't doubt it, but how on earth did you get yourself up there?" Naturally, her mind was thinking of the most direct route, like what most tiny woodland creatures would think of; just jumping on the trunk and climbing her way up! But when Aspen climbed onto the base of the tree, standing on her hind legs and pawing at the wood, she soon discovered that she completely lacked the ability to climb like those other forest sprites.
Craning her head up once again at the offer of joining the woman in the trees, Aspen smile widened as she glanced around the giant pines. "I think I could manage, as long as you promise there's another way down besides falling?" Getting up seemed impossible enough, she didn't need to get all the way up there just to get stuck! But it seemed this stranger knew a thing or two about the mountainous trees, and Aspen had faith that she would once again find her feet on the ground. But the idea of being suspended high above the earth, it was already causing her brain to spin. What would the world look like from up there? How much more could she see from those heights? And then another, more humorous thought crossed her mind; I could live like a chipmunk up there. It was silly enough to have her snickering to herself softly while she waited for the woman in the trees to show her the way.
