Tree house masters

Adventuring north was proving to be a most beneficial decision for Sylvia. Each time she did so, in one forest or the next, she would run into the most interesting of wolves and be granted entertainment for the day... or night, depending on the flavor of wolf. While she mostly stuck around the battlefield, still hoping Valkyrie would finally show up in the middle of some great battle that Sylvia could jump in and assist on. After all, finding Valk had been her main goal when traveling to these lands, but that didn't mean the russet woman had to put her life on hold now did it? Recalling one of her first trips to the northern forests, Sylvia set out to find the red woods, where the trees expanded in their girth far greater than any other she had seen. It took her but half a days travel, but that was alright. After visiting with Drifa, she now knew the steps to building herself a fire, if something were to keep her in the forest overnight. 

Once the woman arrived, she found herself the largest tree at the heart of the forest, and decided to investigate it further. Just how old must the bark be to grow to such lengths?  She couldn't help but wonder. Long legs would quickly work to travel about the length of the trunk, counting her strides as she did so. When she got past twenty strides, her pace slowed, and her head turned upward as curiosity began to build within her. A normal tree was an excellent home for the small forest critters,  but with trunks like these.. she wondered if perhaps this type of vegetation would be just big enough to even house a creature like herself. "A tree... house." She mumbled to herself with a grin. Violet eyes gazed out with a vast imagination, thinking of how she would carve out her own spiraling staircase around the trunk, or even dig out the center of the tree for a den high up in the canopy. It was an intriguing idea, but how on earth would one accomplish such a feat? Curiously, Sylvia would stand up on her hind legs to dig into the bark, attempting to see just how thick the bark was and how easily it could be done.
