The OG children of the forest. Every year, on their mother's wedding anniversary, the Briar siblings meet at their favorite spot for some nostalgic role play...if their aging bodies permit it of course.
Silas: I thought you quit those things, brother!
Ezra: Silas! How was the drive?
Silas: Well hold on, don’t change the subject. That’s why you’re always out of breath when you take more than 10 steps.
Ezra: Relax, relax. It’s one of those fancy herbal cigarettes Amir gifted me for my birthday. It’s for comfort, mostly.
Silas: Yeah, yeah. We ain’t youngin’s anymore, brother-
Ezra: [snorts] Not with that attitude. Youth is a mindset, so they say.
Silas: Yeah? You tell that to my arthritis...
Silas: You know, maybe you're onto something. Maybe deep down, we're all still the same spirited, naive kids. It's got me thinking...
Ezra: Well shit! You’re poppin’ the question to Seb?!
Silas: Bout 40 years too late, you don’t think?
Ezra: [laughs] No kiddin’. Naw, Seb will love it. Aww come here, lover boy!
Silas: You better quit it, that rickety back of yours!
Ezra: Don’t you mind my back. We gotta celebrate tonight!
Silas: I ain’t propose yet, you know!
Willow: [scoffs] Wha- You two aren’t dressed!? We do this every year! I’ve been on a 10 hour flight to get here, I managed to dress up. I should clobber you both...
Silas: Now when have we ever missed a session, Wills? Have better faith in your brothers.
Willow: Oh, I’ll wipe that goofy look off your faces alright!
Ezra: Relax, your majesty. We came prepared. Silas got some news.
Silas: After all these years, I see victory on the horizon. We will claim these lands in Honor of our King for good.
Willow: Foolish knights! Have you forgotten who has ruled over these lands for the last several decades, or should I remind you of your place?
Willow: I can show you the extent of my mercy if you choose to join me.
Ezra: Ha, we will never betray our king.
Willow: You will kneel or you will perish. Choose wisely.
Ezra: Then you have chosen your fate!
Ezra: Oh goddammit!! My back! My back!
Willow: Oh for crying out loud! Who told you to break into a sprint!
Ezra: Mama! I’m coming, mama...
Ezra: Thanks for helping me out.
Silas: Between you and your rowdy tribe of grandkids, I don’t know how you ain’t walkin’ with a cane.
Willow: I swear my big brothers are such babies.
Ezra: You think our mama’s laughing at me right now?
