You know, it actually takes some of the fun out of shopping when you can just walk out of the store with whatever you want. Not that I ever really pay for things, but apparently the pretense was more amusing than I thought.

Dad
How are things going with the trees?

James
Is it just me, or is this place starting to get boring?

Who? Loki and THE FOREST and then Tessa!
What? Testing the limits of the barrier, round one! (Trees: 1, Loki: 0)
Where? Treeline, furthest from town.
When? Tonight.
Rating? Not high, really. This time.
Status? Incomplete.
Notes: Anyone with psychic-type abilities can probably feel weird levels of pain floating around! Have fun, guys.

( In retrospect, perhaps he should have been more careful. )
