Stranger from above
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?Â
"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..

[[HAHA it’s ok Sapphy-chan! >v<;; lambatjugakmyselfcoughcough;;;]]
"Ohhh! There’s a town nearby, you say? That’s great!" replied the other delightedly from the tree branch. He seemed eager to accept Aspen’s offer to show him the way. "I’d really appreciate that, mister! Hahaha.. It’ll be really bad if I should get lost again,"
The winged hybrid blinked in momentary confusion as the redheaded man offered to lend him his ladder, even starting to climb down again to do so. He didn't know that Aspen hadn't noticed that he has wings so he could fly. Waving his hands frantically in protest, “E-eh..! Th-there’s no need to trouble yourself with that sir..;;; I don’t need it, so, please just go ahead and finish your work-”
To show that he really didn’t need a ladder to get down, the young man let himself fall from the high branch, spreading his wings to float himself to the ground.
He called up to the redheaded man; he would have shaken hands to be polite, but that could wait until Aspen had climbed down. Obby sure didn’t want the man to fall and get injured if he tried to do that while halfway up a ladder…
