Mr.Badger
And that should do it. There you are, my lad.
Mr.Badger
Pine resin. Daffodil sap. Maybe even some magic. Paint it on the injured branch, and it will grow fresh bark, good as new.
Sidus
Perfect. That's perfect. I'll get this to Suri right away! Thank you, Mr. Badger!
Mr.Badger
Of course. Best of luck to you. But young man, one thing before you go.
Mr.Badger
When are you going to tell her?
Sidus
I have no idea what you're asking, Mr. Badger.
Mr.Badger
You certainly do. It's a dangerous journey for one young squirrel to come this far into the woods. You wouldn't do it for just anyone.
Mr.Badger
I'm not asking what she is. I'm asking what you want her to be.
Sidus
She's the chief's daughter.
Mr.Badger
And that puts her out of your reach?
Mr.Badger
It's always the furthest branch that has the sweetest nut, isn't it? Tell me. This acorn you're looking for. You said it was magical?
Sidus
When it's in our forest, it makes the trees grow.
Mr.Badger
And what does it do when it's not there?
Mr.Badger
I suspect you'll find out soon, lad.
