He sighed, resting his head on his hand. "Aspen, you're in a time of transition. Don't worry too much."
She was watching him, obviously a little worried. "Back in the woods the other day.. Did you mean what you said?"
He was quiet for a moment, his clear eyes considering her. "You're new here, Aspen. If you don't follow my directions, you'll die out here. That part is true."
He considered her for a moment. "You really *squee!*ed up, Aspen. The best thing you can do now is work harder and don't repeat your mistakes."
