The group hikes through the jungle. Lae in the led, followed by Silas, then the prince and his two guards huddle together behind. 
Iyare:THE ONLY PEOPLE NEARBY WERE THE PRINCE'S GUARD AND HAICHENJA'S VILLAGERS. 
Kaga: COULD THE VILLAGERS KNOW YOUR FIGHTING STYLE?
The ghost rolls his eyes.
Iyare (off panel): UNLIKELY, MY PRINCE.
Silas (thinking): THEY NEVER TIRE OF THIS TOPIC. 
Iyare (off panel): I'M CERTAIN YOUR ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT CAME FROM THE CAPITAL.
Lae glances out of the jungle as they walk past a field of grass. 
Lae: <i>AH-!</i>
Silas: "AH-?"
Lae points into a clearing with an enormous tree on a boulder. Two deer bound away through sunbeams breaking past rain heavy clouds. Buttress roots snake through the grass like wooden ribbons.
Silas: <i>WHOA!</i> THAT'S ONE <i>INCREDIBLE</i> TREE!

I've been browsing through my last high school yearbook in preparation for my ten year reunion tomorrow. The few friends I've kept in touch with live far away and probably won't be there so now I'm racking my brain, trying to remember old acquaintances. Who are all these people? I suspect tomorrow will be embarrassing.

Speaking of embarrassing, the seniors of my class got a chance to include some words of wisdom in the yearbook. Evidently I submitted, "What could possibly happen next? W.+C.P, H.N." Aha ha ha~ What is that crazy punctuation at the end there? Some long forgotten inside joke?

      Wow! That's one big tree! But I'd rather play with the deer than climb it. It looks like it'd be scary to climb that high...

      Loving all the shiny plants on this page. That is one impressively huge tree Lae's found. Also, the deer are adorable. I'm happy to seem some more wildlife in the jungle! :D

      Hahaha, now you've got me wondering about the meaning of those letters. I have a feeling like I knew once what they meant, but now I have NO IDEA...

      I'm ok with admiring deer from afar but they creep me out up close. And well-played, high school self from ten years ago. If anyone else could've remembered the meaning of those letters it would've been Courtney. You have out-clevered us all.
