 AR Project - Post 5
Feeling certain now that the tree had given her the go-ahead, Eliza knelt down and began to dig a small hole at the base. That was what her text had told her to do to begin her offering, so that's what she'd try. Even though, to her, if she were the tree, she wouldn't want people digging holes on her front porch so-to-speak. The tree lived here, and she was digging a hole? She shrugged.
After the hole was a few inches deep, she rounded it along the edges because to her, it would look nicer and more like a gift if it was smooth and circular. She wasn't entirely sure why though. She looked up at the tree and told it what she was doing. "I thought you might like some gifts for being so nice about this," she said as she pulled out her wand. "First, I know you like water, so here you go. Aguamenti," she cast into the hole. "And then, I know that this is the best stuff ever, so I wanted to share it with you." She pulled out a small jar of ice cream she'd smuggled form the kitchen and put that in the hole as well. "And then, because you can't juuuust have desert, even though it would be nice, here is some freshly baked bread for you. I figured it came from the ground before as wheat and all, so maybe it would be like...a nice cycle thing to give it back?" Unless it's somehow like cannibalism?!OHNO! Is a tree eating or being around dead wheat a bad thing? Does it mind? I don't know how trees FEEL! Trying to hide the sudden panic, the third year plastered a smile on her face and began to fill the hole back in with her offerings inside. Hopefully the tree would like them.
