Characters:

MC - A local hermit.  You’re studying botany, minding your own business, and trying not to step into any wayward mushroom circles on your way back from foraging. 

‘Bob’ - A man whom you definitely haven’t been seeing wandering around the forest before. Since you’ve been taught manners, you also ignore his unnaturally sparkly eyes, and his talking dog. It’s only polite to tactfully ignore another’s oddities. 

Sir Albert the Brave - Bob’s loyal and faithful valet pet corgi.
