This is a bit off track but when I saw 'oyster' a rhyme my dad used to say to us kids flashed through my mind. Any noise annoys an oyster A noisy noise annoys an oyster more. On track - osculate

Prudence is a naughty lady. Don't listen to her.

ENTS!!! Wowsers! What an interesting thought. Hmm! Ranevargar would have to figure out how to give the Realm Trees mobility - hang on! The Tree Managers can move so he must already know. - Yikes! There's enough potential in this idea for a whole novel. Cats??? - are they the Cheshire or Schrodinger variety? Hmm! - our Guardian felines were far from invisible but they sure do have a sense of humour. Wait, - you said dead cats so we must be talking the Shrodinger variety since they're definitely dead (and alive at the same time)- and they're associated with the Realms. (The realms of quantum physics.) Wait again, you said it yourself - 'zipping about, all while standing still' is an example of concurrent but contradictory realities, the very paradigm of the quantum conundrum. Egad! Stop feeding me those funny mushrooms! 🌳🌳🌳😺🌳🌳🌳

I look on it as a 'setting things up' chapter with some hints of things to come -( playing with Nexus energy patterns??) Yes, the location changes could be quite important and I'm working on the introduction of the Philip Island Tree at the moment. (Don't hold your breath though - that will most likely be revealed in Widderkin Part 3.) And, yep! The group is absolutely rushed - next chapter (21) actually starts in Canberra. ✈️🖥️

I like the idea too but, except for Woorawa's Realm Tree which is in a rather remote and protected location, I didn't think it would happen. Ranevargar has consistently advocated for the Realms and the human world to remain separate, so I was surprised (one of those character taking over moments) when he made the Philip Island Tree a 'done deal'. It was almost as if he had a premonition. 🌳🌳🌴🌳🌳

Widderkin VOE. Chapter 20. "Should we disband our merge for the duration of this workshop, Kieran? The Nexus patterns were given specifically to you and your father." "No way, Ranevargar, unless you need a break after this morning's big session with Corey. We both see things more clearly when we’re merged and I’ll definitely need your guidance. I do recognise Nexus patterns but Maurice does all my Realm management and I never really use them." "That mastery will come easily w

It certainly will be a problem because the idea behind this kind of protest is to become the centre of attention. - no blue glows floating through the air to share with fellow protesters when the eyes of the media are watching so closely. Hmm! I'm sure the companions will help Woorawa through whatever - a laugh from Rhys - a gentle supporting touch from Tan - guidance from Kieran. 🖥️

'Corey was speechless. These people were crazy. They cared for you and really meant it.' - Yes, for the first time in his life Corey is experiencing kindness, care, and a sense of belonging.

Yes, there were curious developments during that brief trip. I'm sure our mining moguls will be paying close attention - it will be by proxy though as they're in Sydney, not Canberra.

Capital capers, Canberra conniptions, Prime Ministerial protestations - let's hope they're excellent. Lol - Mighty Mousers, you could say.

WIDDERKIN VOE. Chapter 19. *** The great dragon and the contingent gathered in front of him blinked from view and Corey turned to Kieran and Ranevargar who were both smiling. "Time to relax, Corey. Gryl is waiting to share the time with us." "Gryl?" "Yes. You’ll be spending a lot of time with him and he wants to get to know you." Corey looked to the huge feline basking in the sun beside the Realm Tree bole and wasn't too sure that relax was the right word.

ecky - as in The Goodies.

Lol! - Me too! A 700 metre tall Realm Tree would be hard to top too - (pardon the pun ) 🌴 🌳🌴🌳🌴

'Something evil this way comes.' - I've loved this quote for almost sixty years since I read the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. You're right to feel uneasy. Yes, so much to take in in a somewhat abbreviated visit. 🌴

It's a very busy Realmstop this time, cut short by necessity.
