The sprout was in disbelief of any of this. It didn't make sense. But looking around, he did see bits of hard flakes of something. Then they noticed so many little ants and beetles cleaning up what little was left. "Wait, what did I do?"

"You tell me, you stupid seed!" the Treant was having none of this.

"I spoke to the child, and the spider snuck up on both of us!" the spout protested.

"Not to me. Explain to the witch, and you may have a renewed lease on life."

In that Gathering Wood behind Minervie's cottage home, where strange creatures gathered, an old Treant was talking to their troublesome seedling, "You need to understand. You were far weaker than the spider. My trunk will take another spring to recover fully."

The youthful bush of a Treant just replied, "Weak," in a non-committal way.

"Yes, you are. The witch would not hesitate to smite you if you cause trouble again."

"You're not in Company housing?"

"I'm not talking housing, man. It's my lease on life."

"O...Oh," I said.

Everyone's heard of life leases--if your social capital score falls too low and you have to rent your right to exist--but I'd never met anyone in that position before. Poor bastard.

I'm glad that I'm able to do something thoughtful for Kevin as a character.

The blue towel folded and hung upon the oven door as he recited a poem he stumbled upon while pursuing his undergraduate work.
"It's a great, big broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has #lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace."
A half hour later, Kevin returned in his dreams. 7/7
