Stranger from above
Flying very low, the stranger caught sight of something— A glimpse of red among the gaps of green. Red hair? Anyway, red is quite a noticeable color when glimpsed among green like that. Had I finally found a person he could get directions from, thought the young man, going in closer. He navigated to land in the branches of a tree next to the one Aspen is in the process of climbing up with the help of the ladder.
"Say, excuse me mister— but can I ask you a question?" said the winged stranger. To anyone unused to having people come from the air, it might come as a surprise as if to hear a tree suddenly start to speak. "Am I anywhere near civilization here? I’ve been travelling for some time, and I’ve kinda gotten lost.. ahahaha;;;;…"
The stranger laughed a bit, looking sheepish.
Aspen was startled when he heard a voice. He turned his head and looked down. No.. there's no one down here.. Okay that's weird.. His heart was beating slightly faster. He tried looking around again, this time by looking up. There he saw a figure, like it's sitting on a branch. Is that a person..? What's he doing up there?
"Lost? Ah, that's why you're on the tree? To get to a high place to see if you can find something?" Aspen assumed, chuckling. "There's the town square and you can find people mostly there," he said, shouting. "I can show you the way if you want." He thought maybe he could show the stranger the way, after he finished placing the bird houses if the stranger wouldn't mind waiting.. But the stranger needed to get down first. "I'll lend you this ladder to get you down." He still hadn't realized yet the stranger had something that ordinary people like him didn't have..
