Either she really didn't get out of the castle enough during the past two years she had been there, or with the new Groundskeeper came new things, because half the things she saw, she had never seen before.

Like some kind of tree down by the lake?

Sure, there were trees by the lake, but that particular tree.. perhaps the Groundskeeper had carried the thing on his back? Going by the man's size at the feast, he was probably able to do something like that. So, because of all his hard work tree carrying, she thought it was best to go and see the thing for herself. However, before she could even make her way down to the lake, a familiar figure caught her attention and she decided that that could wait.

Rhodes only half-jogged her way closer to Romulus, and snatching the book from right out of his hands, she flipped through a few pages to see what the book was about. She had no idea. "I don't think Healer Tillstorm would be too happy with you if you had to go to the Hospital Wing with a book related injury."

Something like a walking into a wall injury.
