onceavikingEric seems to have a very specific tree in mind, steering Athelstan down paths invisible to the human eye.
The tree turns out to be an oak, widespread and solid.

Date: 2015-09-19 07:56 pm (UTC)"...could he banish you from Louisiana?" Athelstan asks, half flippant, half serious.
(Of course, Compton would surely know that wouldn't be much of a punishment.)

Because he would likely be blamed for that too.

Date: 2015-09-19 08:52 pm (UTC)"All right", he agrees mildly, and steps towards the door. "Until later, then."
