This is a tree from Teer Fradee, my island. Trust me! I would know one on sight.

[......okay, BUT--]

Why would a tree drink blood at all?

[summonere]

If it gets enough to drink, it sprouts a particular fruit. Eating it crowns you the king of hell.

[takeroot]

[This sounds like an absolutely wild story, but one time Constantin pissed off God and God was, conveniently enough, also a tree, so maybe not--]

That is an awful lot of effort to go to for fruit. Even king's fruit.

[summonere]

Oh? The pursuit of power doesn't motivate you?

[takeroot]

In hell? No. I'd prefer my own little piece of the world, if I had to choose. Unbothered and unburdened, you know.

[summonere]

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown?

[takeroot]

My father is a prince and I am his only heir, which in some ways means I will never be rid of him. So yes, you could say that literally, if you like.

[summonere]

It does seem to be unfortunate to be the heir to a father's legacy sometimes.

I know a few people obsessed with its meaning, or lack thereof.

[ Depends which brother you ask. ]

[takeroot]

The mere thought of it exhausts me.

[Dads.... who has the TIME!!]

I could endure a legacy were it to come from a different man! But it's as I've said: it would be enough to be left to my own devices, at long last.

[summonere]

Then I won't try to get between you and your tree.

[takeroot]

Thank you, we're very close. I'm considering giving it a name, but I wonder if that would be a touch gauche.

[summonere]

Doesn't that depend on the name?

[takeroot]

I am open to suggestions! Not from Griffon.

[summonere]

I'd name it after a philosopher. Is that boring?

[takeroot]

That would depend on which one.

Kidding. Tell me.

[summonere]

Pythagoras is classical.

[takeroot]

[V.... this is nerdy. Never change.]

Hm! I suppose it does look like a Pythagoras in the right light.

[summonere]

[ Look who went along with this nerdy tho. ]

Glad I could help.

[takeroot]

[It was a team effort to name this tree, fair enough.]

Thank you kindly, of course.

Now then! Did you receive a gift of magic, as well? I should have asked sooner!

[summonere]

Yes. It has some limitations that I'm not used to, but the largest of my familiars has been brought for me.

[takeroot]

[HOW LARGE]

Bigger than a bird, then? Tree-sized?

[summonere]

Normally. Currently it is more human sized. Although perhaps still as wide as a tree? It is not a slender entity.

[takeroot]

So perhaps more... round? Rotund? Is it also some kind of animal?

[summonere]

No, it's a golem. A war machine from the depths of hell.

[ Text doesn't really make it clear whether he's being serious or exaggerating does it.... ]

[takeroot]

[No, but hell keeps coming up, and can he resist? No--]

What kind of fruit do you feed it?
