Into the Whispering Forest He Did Wander

Sylvia? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?

Oh, Aldo. Yes, well, actually, Terry hasn't come back since he left this morning...

What! He's been out there by himself the whole time?

That's right. If you have time, would you mind helping me look for him in the forest?

Of course. We should hurry and just hope he hasn't run into any monsters!

Terryyy! Are you out there?

Terry! Where are you, Terry?

That's odd. I would've thought we'd have found him by now.

Where could he have gotten to? I do hope he's not hurt. That would be worrisome.

Maybe we passed by each other somewhere and he's already headed back to the village.

I do hope you're right. Ah!

Over there, Aldo! Look! Right between that thicket!

Where, there?

If you crouch down, you'll see what I mean.

Hey! It looks like there's an opening we can pass through here!

I must be the very same one Terry was telling me about earlier. He called it his "Secret Forest Route" or something to that effect.

Well, let's see if he went through here.

Argh! Damn it, why was I so careless?

Terry! Are you okay?

Aldo! Boy am I glad to see you!

And...Sylvia? Didn't want you to have to see me in this sorry state.

Are you injured?

I twisted my ankle when I was fellin' a tree.

A sprained ankle needs immediate attention! Here, I'll take care of it.

Ow ow ow...

Oh come on, it doesn't hurt that bad. I'm sure you can bear it for a moment.

I'll go get your logging equipment for you, Terry.

H-Hey, listen. I'm sorry for steppin' all over those flowers of yours the other day.

Th-That's okay. I shouldn't have been so rude to you. I'm sorry.

This must be his ax, right? Huh?

Was he standing here awkwardly just so he wouldn't trample all over this flower here?

...Heh. I've got a feeling those two are going to get on just fine.
