"No!" Keera whimpered, not wanting to go anywhere with the ents.
Willow, unable to understand her just nodded, "Of course, young flit. It would Be a pleasure."

"Wait, Lord willow." Aylla said, and then in the fox tongue: "Why not Keera? What's wrong?"

"I-I don't like them... They hurt the humans... They're scary," she whined.

"I don't think they really are unfriendly." Aylla smiled at Willow. "The oak ws just angry at the humans for chopping down his friends! You saw the fig bringing him back to life."

"I don't like them!" Keera said insistently. She was only a pup still.

"Don't worry about it Keera, I'll protect you! Nothing will happen to you." She kissed the fox's head and petted her.

This comforted Keera, but only a bit. She didn't argue anymore though.

Aylla kept cuddling the fox as she said: "shall we go, ancient one?"

"Of couse," the ent nodded and his body creaked and groaned as he began to walk through the forest.

Aylla made herself comfortable and kept Keera close to her chest. "Are you okay there?" she asked.

"No..." Keera whimpered. She was absolutely horrified of this, of the ents, and to be honest, she was a little scared of Aylla now.

"Talk to me then!" Aylla smiled. "What's bothering you?"

"I already told you... I don't like these things and I don't like that you like them..."

"They're beings of nature, just like me." Aylla argued.

"So what? They're still really scary," she pried herself out of Aylla's arms and sat a few feet away from her, looking over the edge of Willow's shoulder, wondering if she could make the jump if she used his rough, bark covered chest.

"What are you doing?" Aylla got concerned, even though she knew she could easily fly out and catch up with the fox. "Please don't leave..."

"I don't want to go with these things," she whined and crouched a bit, making ready to jump onto a small branch on Willow's chest.

"Then we won't. I'm sorry, ancient one - we have to go our own way."

By this time, Keera had already jumped and had managed to nimbly jump to the branch, but that was as far as she had thought and she couldn't jump back up.
"Oh," the ent seemed rather disappointed but had a small smile on his wooden face, "Well, I wish you the best of luck... Where's the little fox?"

Aylla chuckled. "She tried to get down but seems to be stuck now." Allya flapped her wings and flew down to Keera and picked her up. "Thank you for the gesture anyway, ancient ones."
